SUMMARY:AMUG 2023 Conference - Registration Open
DESCRIPTION:Photo caption: Hundreds of first-time attendees gathered for the 2022 welcoming session to kick-start the networking aspect of the AMUG Conference. \n  \nThe Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG)\, Milwaukee\, Wisconsin\, announced that online registration is open for its 2023 AMUG Conference\, which will be held in Chicago\, Illinois\, March 19-23\, 2023. The AMUG Conference is a users’ event open to owners and operators of industrial additive manufacturing technologies used for professional purposes. \nMark Abshire\, AMUG president said\, “The AMUG conference is all about the users of additive manufacturing equipment. What makes it unique is the users plan\, organize and manage all aspects of the conference\, making it truly ‘For Users\, By Users’.” \nAdditive manufacturing users share expertise\, best practices\, real-world results\, challenges and application developments through dialogue from the stage and conversations during breaks\, meals and networking activities. With a program that encourages participation from early in the morning to late at night\, attendees can interact with their peers for more than 50 hours over the five-day event. \nThe AMUG Conference will include keynotes\, panel discussions\, technical sessions and hands-on workshops designed to help users get more from\, and do more with\, their additive manufacturing solutions. The conference agenda is expected to offer nearly 150 presentations and workshops. \nOne highlight of the conference program will be the 8th annual Innovators Showcase. The showcase is an on-stage interview with the feel of a fireside chat where attendees get to know an innovator in the industry and discover insights from that individual’s experiences. The conference program also includes the AMUGexpo\, with over 140 participating companies\, on Sunday\, March 19 and Monday\, March 20. \nThrough AMUG’s Innovators Award\, Technical Competition and DINO Awards\, excellence in applying additive manufacturing and contributions to the industry will be recognized. The five-day event also includes an off-site dinner gathering\, networking receptions and catered meals. \nThe advanced\, all-inclusive conference registration fee is $1\,295.00 when signing up through January 6\, 2023.

SUMMARY:RJG Academy Master Molder® I
DESCRIPTION:This is the industry’s premier standard demand for training! The Master Molder® I qualification is designed for the Process Technician\, Engineer\, or Manager who needs to understand and demonstrate injection molding skills at the machine. Participants will be able to establish the development of a DECOUPLED MOLDING® II process. Anyone who is responsible for implementing a processing strategy in their plant\, or who is held accountable for quality issues\, are prime candidates for this training. \nThere is a reason that companies in the injection molding industry actively seek out Master Molder qualified molders to join their team. Participants learn to apply methods\, strategies\, and techniques of injection molding from the plastic’s point of view\, all taught in a real-world production floor environment. This hands-on\, in-depth training enables participants to leave with solid skills that can be applied immediately in their facility.

SUMMARY:RJG Academy Train the Trainer Qualification
DESCRIPTION:RJG’s Train the Trainer program is designed for those who fully intend to instruct others in their organization on the methodologies and techniques learned in their Master Molder training. Those who successfully pass the Train the Trainer program will have the title of Qualified Trainer and are then eligible to teach Injection Molding Essentials\, Fundamentals of Systematic Injection Molding\, DECOUPLED MOLDING® Workshop\, Successful Strategies for Tool Launch\, Mold Design\, and Part Design within their organization. To be successful as trainers\, candidates must have a strong DECOUPLED MOLDING® background and enough experience to be comfortable in front of a classroom. \nThe true value of this program is that Train the Trainer graduates gain the skills\, tools\, and confidence needed to successfully pass this knowledge on to others in their company. This is a great advantage for anyone directly responsible for implementing a training program. The strategies\, DECOUPLED MOLDING® techniques\, and implementation processes taught in RJG’s Master Molder® Series are emphasized in this course. Trainers will be coached in presenting a participant-centered approach that focuses on the needs of learners and incorporates creative training techniques. \nThis intensive\, two-week training requires a huge commitment from every participant. They are required to teach others in the group daily in order to refine their training techniques. Each participant is evaluated daily by the instructor and entire class on their teaching skills\, use of visual aids\, and interaction with the class. They are also required to develop training materials to support their learning objectives\, including minimal purchases to aid in getting their content across to the students. Each participant may conduct a hands-on lab session that encourages student participation and reinforces safety standards. \nPrerequisites are in place to ensure only the top of the class graduates of the Master Molder® Series move into this phase of the program. The Train the Trainer endorsement is meant to allow the “best of the best” from the Master Molder® program to train others within their own company.
