Letter from Los Angeles UNIVERSITY NEWS Juliet Oehler Goff, President/CEO, Kal Plastics Irecently had the pleasure of visiting UCLA Architecture and Urban Design to meet the thermoforming team who are currently using a MAAC thermoformer made possible by the SPE Thermoforming Division matching grant program. The machine was installed in the summer of 2008. They are actively using the machine a great deal and they expressed their gratitude for the SPE grant program. I saw photos of some of the work generated and encouraged them to submit parts for the competition at the next conference. I also asked to get annual updates on the output by the students and copies of student reports and/or any technical papers that could be published in Thermoforming Quarterly and possibly presented at future conferences. I will re-connect with the teaching faculty on these points once school resumes in the fall. I learned there is a real need for assistance on procuring sheet plastic. They would appreciate help with getting materials 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 hopefully it will be a start to establishing regular contact. Shown are some photos I took during the visit. The person I met with, Philip Soderlind, is the shop supervisor where the machine was installed. x Workshop at UCLA Juliet Goff (Kal Plastics) and Philip Soderlind (UCLA) with MAAC Thermoformer Decorative surface in PETG formed by UCLA School of Architecture and Urban Design 26 Thermoforming QUArTerLY Detailed view of PETG part which was painted after forming Full-size of formed pieces on display
