Dedicated follower of plastic

Technical advice, an interactive design centre, ancillaries suppliers stands and all the latest developments add up to a compelling package, says Colin Carter.

Anyone working within plastics design and manufacturing really has to visit the

(PDM) 2006 exhibition and conference at the Telford International Centre,

, from 26-28 September.

The event is the only one in the UK this year dedicated to plastics processing, and over 200 exhibitors will make sure that visitors catch up with the latest products and technologies.

Before they get into the main exhibition hall there is an opportunity for designers to find solutions to real-life problems in 'Ask the Consultant' sessions. Experts from the Plastics Consultancy Network will answer initial technical and materials questions and suggest how to get the best from their time at the show.

This feature was very successful at PDM 2005. Robin Kent from the Plastics Consultancy Network said: 'At last year's show, designers and others were coming along with product drawings asking how they should make their design.

'We want to give people the first glance of what is on offer from the plastics industry at PDM 2006. We are there to help - and it's free,' he added.
