Accumold

Designing low profile, ultra thin, wearable medical devices is a design challenge even for the world's leading engineers. Tolerances are extremely tight, a single micron makes a big difference, and resin selection is a delicate balance. Accumold is a world leader in micro molding. Join DFM/DFMM tool designer Lee Rafdal and sales engineer Craig Tappe to ask questions about micro molding, thin-wall, hitting micron tolerances, ejection port and gate design, and part geometry. Who should attend: Design Engineers Mechanical Engineers Product Development Directors and Engineers Project Engineers and Managers Quality Engineer R&D Engineering and Managers Product Development Engineers

On Friday, June 28th, Des Moines Area Community College and Accumold welcomed a group of Iowa high school superintendents and administrators to discuss the Accumold Scholar program. These scholarships support DMACC's Tool & Diemaking and Robotics and Control Systems Engineering Technology programs. Nearly two dozen participants attended the two-hour event, which began with a shared meal and featured presentations by Roger Hargens, CEO of Accumold, and Rob Denson, President of DMACC. Attendees also heard stories from past scholarship recipients, providing insights into the career paths offered by these programs. The event concluded with a Q&A session and a tour of the Accumold facility. The day was a success, and we hope the administrators will return to their school districts and spread the word about both the Accumold Scholars program and DMACC’s degree programs.

Accumold is pleased to announce that it will be presenting a webinar focused on micro manufacturing for wearable diabetes devices on Thursday, June 27, 2024 14.00 Eastern Daylight Time (20.00 CET). We will be specifically discussing a thin-wall and overmolding case study, and the webinar will be hosted by Paul Runyan, VP Sales and Marketing and AJ Pruitt, Technology Manager at Accumold. Small and thin-walled cannulas play a pivotal role in wearable diabetes devices due to their significance in minimizing patient discomfort and optimizing medical procedures. Using Accumold's revolutionary and proprietary micro injection molding process, cannulas can now be produced at high volume with simplified all-plastic bodies, and heads designed to maximize manufacturing efficiencies and product integration.   Register for the MD+DI / Qmed+ webinar now to learn more and to see how micro molded thin-wall cannulas can stimulate innovation in the design of your wearable diabetes devices.

Accumold is pleased to announce that Petra Badrah Kreitz has joined the company as the fulltime European Business Development Manager. Petra is not new to the Accumold team. For the past eight years, she has collaborated with Accumold through the EuroDev - European Business Development Group Group, based in Almelo, Netherlands. "Our partnership with both EuroDev and Petra has been immensely beneficial, and as our customer base in this critical region has expanded, we saw a strategic need to bring her on board full-time," stated Paul Runyan, VP of Sales and Marketing at Accumold. Fluent in several languages and well-integrated into the Accumold sales team, Petra will continue to promote Accumold's micro molding capabilities and micro solutions. Her primary focus will be on serving the medical technology, microelectronics, wearable, and micro-optics sectors in Western Europe, excluding the UK and Ireland. Welcome aboard Petra!
