PTXPO 2023 – Rosemont, Illinois

Plastics Technology Expo – Will we see you there?

“PTXPO 2023 is a dynamic tradeshow created for decision makers paving the way for plastics processing throughout the entire North American supply chain.”
– PTXPO, 2023

St. Paul Engraving is excited to announce that we will be attending PTXPO, March 28-30, 2023 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.

At our PTXPO booth, we will be able to collaborate with fellow plastic injection molding manufacturers on how laser texturing/engraving, chemical texturing/engraving & specialty services helps transform the mold manufacturing industry. We are here to help answer any/all question as it relates to your mold finish solutions.

We look forward to meeting you!

Overcoming Complex Mold Texturing Challenges

The mold manufacturing industry is constantly evolving. As a result, options for overcoming complex mold texturing challenges are evolving, too. 

Our complex marketplace demands new and innovative design possibilities with higher accuracy and tighter tolerances while keeping production times as short as possible. For example, some projects may require depth or detail unachievable by acid etching, while others demand consistent results with high-volume multi-cavity tools. 

Laser texturing might be the right solution to overcome these complex challenges. Here are a few key advantages to consider. 

 

Overcoming texturing challenges by applying laser texture directly over a EMD mold cavity, no polishing required.
