As a prototyping shop making electric motors we often require small plastic parts that made from resins that are not 3D printable, resins with glass reinforcement, high temperature stuff. I machine parts when I can but geometry is often a limitation. I am interested in the idea of making very simple molds in-house and making parts (quantity 50-500) using a simple bench top injection molding machine
Something like this
Manual Benchtop Injection Molding Machine MIM-2 ,a standard mold&Free Shipping | eBay
Or this
Alibaba Manufacturer Directory - Suppliers, Manufacturers, Exporters & Importers
Long cycle time is not a problem, I just want to shorten the time between design and part in hand as well as cut the cost.
I have no experience with plastic injection molding so I don't know how hard it is to get the process to work.
Anybody done this?
