CONNECT Virtual Conference 2026

Posted on 06-09-2026

We are excited to share that Beaumont is sponsoring and participating in the upcoming MF Software CONNECT Virtual Conference!

On June 16, from 3:30 PM to 4:15 PM, Beaumont’s own Jacob Trott will take the virtual stage to tackle one of the most critical challenges in modern plastics engineering. His presentation, “Syncing Systems: How Test Lab Parameters Translate to Simulation Performance,” will delve into bridging the gap between ideal laboratory conditions and real-world manufacturing.

“Simulation accuracy is only as good as the data behind it. In this session, Jacob will discuss how material characterization must reflect real-world production conditions to deliver reliable simulation results. Attendees will gain insight into why understanding a material’s chemical makeup and processing requirements before testing is critical to bridging the gap between lab data and production-floor performance.”
Jacob Trott

BAP Expands Material Characterization

Beaumont Advanced Processing (BAP) is excited to announce we are expanding yet again.

As of June 1st, 2022 our Material Characterization Division, which includes Test Specimen Molding, Therma-flo™, and Moldflow Material Characterization, will be moving to a new facility.

Measuring Viscosity: Capillary Rheometer vs. Injection Mold Rheometer

Posted on 02-28-2020

Thermoplastics viscosities are described as having a pseudo-plastic non-Newtonian behavior. This type of behavior means that as you push the material at a faster rate, the polymer exhibits a reduction in viscosity. There are two critical factors that affect the viscosity of plastics: temperature and shear rate.

In our material characterization lab we measure viscosity utilizing two primary, capillary based systems: Autodesk Moldflow Injection Molding Rheometer (IMR) and Capillary Rheometer. (We will touch on Therma-flo™ separately in a later article.) Each piece of equipment and associated test method has its own benefits and drawbacks, but the IMR remains the preferred method for material characterization to simulate the injection molding process.

Beaumont Advanced Processing: Who Are We?

Posted on 02-07-2019

When most of our industry thinks about Beaumont, the first thing that comes to mind is usually John Beaumont’s patented Meltflipper® technology. After all, that is our legacy product and what put Beaumont on the map.

Many people are surprised to find out just how extensively Beaumont has developed over the last twenty-one years. Now, Beaumont has four companies under its umbrella: Beaumont Technologies (the former Beaumont Runner Technologies), Beaumont Development, Beaumont Advanced Processing, and the American Injection Molding Institute. We offer comprehensive services to the injection molding industry, including Moldflow® simulation, consulting, education & training, material characterization, and even production injection molding.

TESTIMONIALS

“Of all the training seminars that I have attended over the past 10 years, this one ranks at the top! The explanations of clamp tonnage, cooling strategies, viscosity, and key mold design components are just a few of the takeaways that will be very useful in my job function.”

THOGUS®

Russ Wolff, Business Development Manager

“I was amazed at the amount of expertise and knowledge presented in just two days. Many myths were debunked, numerous scientific explanations for the way we should be thinking about plastic flow were given, and various real-world examples were used to show how plastic flows.”
