OPTA'a Tech Program at AOPA Meeting
Text:
The American Orthotic Prosthetic Association’s annual meeting in Hollywood,
Florida, will feature OPTA’s most ambitious technical education summit to date.
With speakers like internationally known thermoforming expert Gary Beddard of
Becker Orthopedic, Peter Panuncialman of Windy City Fabricators, Steve Hill
of OTS and Tony Wickman from Freedom Fabrication.
The a.m. session will be the definitive interactive seminar on “Thermoforming
for Fun and Profit.” Gary will explain the complex physical properties of
the thermoforming process followed by an over view of process parameters,
including how to choose a vacuum source, and manifold design. There will also be a
live demonstration of processing techniques to ensure a positive outcome.
The p.m. sessions will be “Tools to Make Our Job Easier.” Steve Hill will
present an array of inexpensive tools that can increase ease of production.
Several tool manufacturers will also be on hand to show how their industry
specific tools can benefit your production.
