The AfriMold trade fair is expected to attract exhibitors and visitors representing the associated sectors of design, materials, simulation, visualisation, engineering, virtual reality, CAE, CAD and CAM, rapid prototyping and tooling, patternmaking and prototyping, precision machining, mould-making and tooling, tools, machine tools, quality assurance and automation, as well as processing and finishing.

The trade fair remains the single most important platform for members of the industry to benchmark and evaluate technologies and services that support our industry, to drive growth and to increase manufacturing competitiveness.

Conference explores the way forward for next-generation vehicles

AfriMold is underpinned by a close association with the Toolmaking Association of South Africa (TASA), which seeks to provide a platform for companies to improve their capabilities in areas of design, tooling and manufactured components for the local Automotive OEM’s. The conference brings together all players in the industry across diverse sectors from foundry, plastics and metal forming through the relevant Institutes and Associations, to collectively respond to market needs and ensure the viability of the SA Manufacturing base.

AfriMold announced their Conference Roadmap to address the needs of the National Association of Automotive Component Manufacturers (NAACAM) via technology transfer from local and international best practice in the highly competitive vehicle market.

The conference will address current challenges, provide a window to the future, and demonstrate all the associated technologies to keep SA relevant to leading edge developments.

AfriMold is inviting industry experts as well as international industry leaders to apply to present papers of specialist and general industry interest.
