Irecently had the pleasure of visiting UCLA Architecture and Urban Design to meet the thermoforming team who are currently<br />
using a MAAC thermoformer made possible by the <strong>SPE</strong> <strong>Thermoforming</strong> <strong>Division</strong> matching grant program. The machine was<br />
installed in the summer of 2008.<br />
They are actively using the machine a great deal and they expressed their gratitude for the <strong>SPE</strong> grant program. I saw photos<br />
of some of the work generated and encouraged them to submit parts for the competition at the next conference.<br />
I also asked to get annual updates on the output by the students and copies of student reports and/or any technical papers that<br />
could be published in <strong>Thermoforming</strong> <strong>Quarter</strong>ly and possibly presented at future conferences. I will re-connect with the teaching<br />
faculty on these points once school resumes in the fall.<br />
I learned there is a real need for assistance on procuring sheet plastic. They would appreciate help with getting materials<br />
donated and/or at a discount. I let them know that our group may very well be able to help. All in all, it was a great meeting and<br />
