New exhibit theater, more educational opportunities
For the first time, RadTech will be building an exhibit theater on the show floor, which will allow people to attend an open forum of panels and presentations on the practical implementation of UV/EB technology. Sessions are set to include:
- Trends in Inkjet/Digital Printing
- The Future of UV-C LEDs
- UV LED Chemistry
- Food Processing and Disinfection
- UV LED Mythbusters
Inkjet surface decoration short course added to program
A special short course on inkjet surface decoration from IMIs Industrial Print Academy will be offered at RadTech 2018. With the rapid development of inkjet applications on products that include packaging, glass, textiles, footwear, flooring, home décor and containers, this course will offer techniques for process evaluation, optimization and implementation. The course will discuss crucial system aspects, as well as the successes and challenges of inkjet in the product decoration landscape. Key topics are set to include the transition to digital, surface properties, process requirements and ink selection.
Dr. Alan L. Hudd, director and founder of Alchemie Technology, Cambridge, United Kingdom, will present the course, which is suitable for engineers, product development staff, managers, business development/planning and marketing professionals.
RadTech 2018 adds photopolymerization research presentations
In a new collaboration, presentations from the Photopolymerization Fundamentals Conference, the premier scientific meeting for academic and industrial participants, will provide the latest research on novel and fundamental questions related to photopolymerization at RadTech 2018. Leading UV/EB researchers from six universities and the Air Force Research Laboratory will present their recent research on critical results and findings that may aid product development.
