The comprehensive technical programme provided presentations from leading experts in the injection moulding and related fields. Papers covered material development and design solutions, optimisation of the injection moulding process through 3D simulation techniques and computer-aided engineering (CAE), issues of globalisation within the industry, opportunities provided by the internet and e-commerce, the use of gas and water assisted moulding techniques help to reduce cycle times and improve quality, and rapid tooling design and production processes.

The Injection Moulding 2002 conference provided an excellent opportunity to hear the latest injection moulding developments and gain a truly global perspective of this important industry.
