Understanding & Optimizing Extrusion Seminar 2009

I greatly enjoyed this seminar and found it very helpful.

I have only been working directly for production of extruded tubing for a short time. This seminar has shed light on several gray areas that I have witnessed.  Several of the areas I see are certainly not understood at each level within the corporation.  This material covered is a well rounded slice of knowledge that I will have to build on throughout my career.

Understanding & Optimizing Seminar 2008

- I’ve attended a wide variety of technical seminars during the course of my career, which is over 25 years at this point. Most are very dry and informational and are lead by people that are very good at what they do, but are not necessarily very good instructors. Some seminars are really a cure for insomnia.

I have to say that Dr. Chris did a phenomenal job both in providing the information, which he is obviously passionate about, and has developed a teaching technique that is very engaging. I would highly recommend it to anyone that has an interest in extrusion.
