President’s Message
By John Sovis
The SPE Cleveland section needs your participation as an existing
member or become a member, as an employee of the Plastic Industry or
technical professional using plastics for product development.
Attending meetings is important to learn how new materials are
developed, and process, testing and tooling technology and information
about your competitors and other companies that make up the industry.
The section’s main focus and mission is the education of our members
and young students in our elementary, high, technical schools, and
universities about plastic materials and processing of them. To carry
out this mission we need more board members to provide leadership and
carry out the activities of all committees. The programs for our
meetings are included in this issue of the newsletter and appear on our
web site www.specleveland.org. Our membership committee will be contacting you in the future to
discuss what you expect to receive from section activities.
2014-2015 OBJECTIVES
A. Fill all director positions.
B. Recruit two assistants for all committee chairs.
C. Improve meeting attendance 10-15%.
D. Expand education opportunities for youth.
E. Improve communication with members, industry and community.
F. Support student sections at local universities.
G. Recognize section member for service given to the section and industry.
H. Improve our web site format and use.
Thanks to all our existing Board members that
have accepted very important officer, committee
chair and committee member positions. They
have committed to help with achieving the
objectives listed above. Our board invites all our
members to help achieve these objectives in
some way such as attending our technical
meetings and severing on the board. The board
members names and contact information are
published in the newsletter and on our web site.
You can contact me or the other officers and
committee chair to express your desire to help
and suggest subjects for future technical
meetings.
Regards,

The Cleveland Section of the Society of Plastics
Engineers has 252 active members.
Geographically, Cleveland is still a stalwart of the
polymer industry, so it is surprising to find the
Section’s membership has now dipped to thirteenth,
behind Detroit, Chicago, Eastern New England,
New Jersey, South Texas, Milwaukee, Upper
Midwest, Southern California, Southern,
Philadelphia, Carolinas, and Akron SPE Sections in
the United States.
The Society of Plastics Engineers is the “go-to”
resource for 20,000 plastics professionals around
the world and provides members access to valuable
technical information.
Help us help you!
- Recommend co-workers as prospective members
- Attend the monthly meetings
- Volunteer for committees or Section positions

About A. Schulman
A. Schulman is a leading international supplier of high-performance plastic compounds and resins, which
are used as raw materials in a variety of markets. Technology centers in the Americas and Europe are
devoted to new product development and research. Each of our Innovatoin Centers is equipped with
sophisticated analytical equipment, and highly skilled engineers and scientists to help us to excel in the
fundamental science of the interactions between colorants, additives and thermoplastics.
Many injection molders, extruders, and other polymer converters excel at their business by becoming
experts in processing and manufacturing technology. Often times, analysis of complex polymer-related
problems require knowledge and equipment not available in the typical manufacturing environment. Our
presenter will review a variety of analytical techniques used in problem analysis like DSC, TGA, FTIR,
DMA, and rheometry. Some relevant case studies will highlight specific applications of these techniques.
About The Presenter
Tom McQuaide has BS in Chemistry and a MS in Polymer Science, both from The University of Akron.
He worked for 17 years in the Applied Polymer Research Laboratory at The University of Akron before
moving to A. Schulman where he has been for the last 15 years. In his more than 30 years in polymer
research and development, Tom has performed hundreds projects involving failure analysis, compound
development, characterization, and new method development. Tom is currently an R&D Engineer at A.
Schulman’s Innovation and Collaboration Center in Akron, OH.
Education Committee Update
I am happy to join the Cleveland Section after many years of membership in SPE, formerly with the
Firelands Section and a brief period with the Detroit Section. Our Education Committee now stands as
me and Jeff Dininger. The committee’s task is to help to disseminate information about the Wonderful
World of Plastics to our membership, our community and to local schools and universities.
Our previous educational programs included a High School Essay Contest, a College Scholarship Program
and providing prizes and judges for the Cleveland Area Science Fair. While I and Jeff, along with our
Student Committee Chairman, Ron Raleigh all have considerable experience working for SPE in various
educational capacities, we would certainly welcome suggestions from our membership at large. I and Jeff
would also like to add at least one more member to our Education Committee.
Please contact me if you are interested in joining
the committee or with any suggestions or questions
I look forward to your input and welcome the
opportunity to serve the Cleveland Section.

May Meeting Wrap-up
SPE Cleveland Section May 12, 2014 meeting was held at Concept2Production. John Sovis
Engineering and Sales Manager presentation covered the history, experience and technical capability of
Concept2Production. Michael Dolan CEO, presentation covered the history and background of
CoreTech Systems, the developers of the Moldex3D software, explained all the capability of the
software and demonstrated the setup, analysis and report content and writing.
Concept2Production is a consulting engineering firm who provides product and machine engineering
analysis, design and development to many different industries such as medical, consumer products and
machinery. Moldex3D software plastic flow analysis is one of the engineering services provided.
Moldex3D
Molding Innovation - Your Core Competitiveness
Moldex3D CAE software provides the
technology you need if you are fed up with
countless trail and errors, which contribute to
the great waste of time, energy and money
during the mold making process.
Now is the time to advance from such
inefficiency. Moldex3D’s solutions help users
simulate and validate their part and mold
designs before actual production. Design
revisions and optimizations can be done much
more quickly and more easily. Moldex3D not
only saves your precious money and labor but
also avoids time wasting mold trails.
