Conventional technology requires molders to use cold runners to mold micro parts. The weight of the cold runner volume can be 2X to 50X the weight of the part. The cold runner also significantly increases the cycle time and secondary molding operations. The combination of increased material usage and length cycle times results in higher part costs\, increased waste\, and higher energy consumption. \nIn this presentation\, Westfall will present how a proprietary molding machine and process was used to eliminate cold runners from micro molding of medical parts. Case studies showing micro molding of bioabsorbable resins and PEEK bone screws will be presented – which resulted in a significant reduction in part costs\, material usage\, and energy consumption. \nSpeaker: \nBio: \n\n\n\n\nVijay Kudchadkar is the Director of Advanced Engineering for Westfall Technik. Vijay is a Plastics Engineer with 16 years of experience in injection molding\, specializing in material properties\, hot runners\, screw design\, micro molding\, and flow simulation. Vijay also has 8 years of experience in extrusion\, thermoforming\, and blow molding\, and has numerous publications and 9 patents in the field of polymer processing. Vijay is an active member of the Society of Plastics Engineers and is currently the Councillor of SPE Ontario and Newsletter editor for the SPE Medical Plastics Division. \n \n\n\n\nVijay Kudchadkar BEng (Polymer); MS (Plastics) \nDirector of Advanced Engineering \nWestfall Technik\, Inc. \n  \nThis is a free event open to anyone interested in informally meeting and networking with the Medical Plastics Division.  \n  \nPlease email Louis Somlai or Pierre Moulinie to be added to the distribution or if you are interested in presenting \n________________________________________________________________________________ \nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin on your computer or mobile app \nClick here to join the meeting \nJoin with a video conferencing device \n531592390@t.plcm.vc \nVideo Conference ID: 113 287 052 4 \nAlternate VTC dialing instructions \nOr call in (audio only) \n+1 317-759-7011\,\,66809426#   United States\, Indianapolis \nPhone Conference ID: 668 094 26# \nFind a local number | Reset PIN \nYou are invited to an Eli Lilly and Company hosted virtual meeting.

To manage stability and integrity\, products are stored and shipped at ultra-cold temperatures (<-40°F); a temperature range at which many traditional polymers are not well understood at an application level. This presentation highlights the level to which polymers can be characterized and analyzed to understand from a fundamental physics perspective whether there is a technical right for success of these applications. Through characterization testing at ultracold temperatures\, TMA and Analytical modeling\, and thermocouple instrumentation to identify necessary temperature constraints\, packaging and products can be de-risked prior to shipping valuable product. \n________________________________________________________________________________ \nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin on your computer or mobile app \nClick here to join the meeting \nOr call in (audio only) \n+1 213-437-3346\,\,70410008#   United States\, Los Angeles \nPhone Conference ID: 704 100 08# \nFind a local number | Reset PIN \nLearn More | Meeting options URL:https://mpd.4spe.org/event/medical-plastics-division-monthly-virtual-networking-hour-january-2022/ CATEGORIES:Technical Conference ORGANIZER;CN="Louis Somlai":MAILTO:somlai_louis@lilly.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20211201T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20211201T190000 DTSTAMP:20260411T174712 CREATED:20211006T205711Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211106T111818Z UID:1201-1638381600-1638385200@mpd.4spe.org SUMMARY:Medical Plastic Division – Virtual Technical Forum & Networking Events - FALL 2021 Series - DECEMBER DESCRIPTION:As members of the Medical Plastics Division\, you are cordially invited to join the MPD Board of Directors for an informal virtual meeting to chat\, catch-up\, and network. \n  \nWe will kick off the meeting with a presentation from an invited speaker (including a short Questions & Answers session)\, followed by a “half-hour social” to network virtually.\n\n\nFor more details or meeting invite please email:  \nLouis Somlai or Pierre Moulinie.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, December 1st   \n6:00-6:30 PM EDT \n“Compounding in a GMP Environment:  Managing Melt Temperature (and avoid degradation) in a Twin Screw Extruder” \n– Charlie Martin\, President/GM \nLeistritz Extrusion \n6:30-7:00 PM EDT \nNetworking (topical break out rooms lead by MPD Board of Director members)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin on your computer or mobile app \nClick here to join the meeting \nJoin with a video conferencing device \n531592390@t.plcm.vc \nVideo Conference ID: 113 287 052 4 \nAlternate VTC dialing instructions \nOr call in (audio only) \n+1 317-759-7011\,\,66809426#   United States\, Indianapolis \nPhone Conference ID: 668 094 26# \nFind a local number | Reset PIN \nYou are invited to an Eli Lilly and Company hosted virtual meeting.

The FDA has included this in its strategic plan for regulatory science through several specific initiatives. With growing use of computational modeling and simulation for medical device submissions\, there is a critical need to ensure that the models represent an appropriate approximation of reality. The ASME V&V 40 (2018) standard provides a risk-informed credibility assessment framework for computational modeling\, specifically intended for medical devices. The credibility assessment is performed through a series of verification and validation activities for the computational model. The presentation will provide an overview of the ASME V&V 40 process along with a few case studies. \n  \nSpeaker & Bio: \nNilesh Billade\, PhD. \nSenior Associate\, Stress Engineering Services\, Inc. \n  \nDr. Billade is a Senior Associate at Stress Engineering Services. He earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Cincinnati. His primary areas of interest include mechanical testing and numerical characterization of linear and non-linear engineering materials and biomaterials\, and advanced nonlinear computational modeling techniques\, such as the finite element analyses (FEA). He has 12 years of engineering work experience in the use of these techniques for innovation\, product design and development\, and optimization of a variety of products in the medical device and consumer products industries. Relevant experience includes: (a) Shipping and distribution simulation of a sterile barrier system and verification and validation of the computational model under the framework provided by ASME V&V40 Standard (b) Product integrity evaluation of a drug delivery system through its shelf life\, using computational modeling and testing. \n  \n________________________________________________________________________________ \nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin on your computer or mobile app \nClick here to join the meeting \nJoin with a video conferencing device \n531592390@t.plcm.vc \nVideo Conference ID: 113 287 052 4 \nAlternate VTC dialing instructions \nOr call in (audio only) \n+1 317-759-7011\,\,66809426#   United States\, Indianapolis \nPhone Conference ID: 668 094 26# \nFind a local number | Reset PIN \nYou are invited to an Eli Lilly and Company hosted virtual meeting.

It will also recommend resources for aiding you during the selection process. The interrelationships between polymer structure and physical properties will be highlighted as well as polymer classifications. Examples of medical devices will be included toward the end of the presentation demonstrating how this information can be applied to real world applications. \nAbout the Speaker\nMichael Paloian is president of Integrated Design Systems\, Inc. (IDS)\, located in Oyster Bay\, New York. Michael has an undergraduate degree in Plastics Engineering from UMass Lowell and a Masters of Industrial Design from Rhode Island School of Design.

Great products might not last forever\, but they usually last a long time. But no matter how great the product is\, there will come a point in time where a thing no longer has any value. It then becomes waste. To be thrown in the trash. And then what? \nHow do you design a product to account for its expected end of life? Or an unexpected end? How do you evaluate materials based on what happens at their end of life? What tools are there? How to use them? What’s next? For plastics\, and for the industry. \nAbout the Speaker\n \nEric R. Larson is a mechanical engineer with decades of experience in designing with plastics. For more than 30 years he has been helping companies bridge the gap between “what if” and “wow.” Products he has worked on include boogie boards\, water basketball games\, SCUBA diving equipment\, disposable lighters\, cell phones\, and hand-held medical devices. They are used – and discarded – by people all around the world. \nHe often writes about the effective use of plastics through the plastic trade press\, and on his blog site plasticsguy.com. His book Thermoplastic Materials Selection: A Practical Guide was released in 2015 and is currently in over 450 university libraries in more than 20 countries.
