Rotational Moulding DIY

[NxsRuin]

Looks like a lot of fun. Nice work. Only technical comment is that if you pay fanatical attention to center of gravity and symmetry around it for the machine itself and make the two rotating frames very heavy and sturdy and perhaps put a gearbox on it, you can get rather extreme speeds (and g forces) out of a simple machine like that, which can easily outperform any professional service in regards to quality of reproduction and detail level, if you get the right mould material of course.

What material do you use in the moulding??

great video by the way!

[hastalueguito]

as to comment on why do this in uk? obviously doesnt know bout small batch rotational moulding in uk. lead times and delivery times from china. ive worked for and now manager for rotational moulding company in uk for over 3 years and company doubled in size since i started, so yes there is a market for it in uk and good work lads! looks a lot more glamourous than the hot and sweaty reality of roto moulding

[PpsychoJOhnny]

fucking awesome! My dream machine

[poushk]

nice!

[leocez]

hello, good night, we are from Brazil and developed a machine very similar to what you have created and we would like to know if the duck was made of rubber or resin? if it is possible to make rubber would like to know what the quality or type! Thank you!

genious! love the idea of vac-forming to make the moulds. easy and quick for this purpose.

[armadillozenith]

excellent vid for those who want to do likewise

It nice to make something but where is the market for any casting and moulds products made in the UK now everything comes from abroad made and delivered for the cost of maybe one piece of wood you used could buy 10 ducks from china. Manufacturing in the UK is coming to the end im afraid. Good video guys

[wballe88]

Nice diy rotomold. Looks well made!

[MrZozzi]

what material did you use to cast?

[baron999mx]

Muy bueno!!!!!!!

[mertmuratkocaman]

u can develop holder for every mold

[mephistoflashpower]

Thank you guys for sharing this video! I will use with my students of plastic process production analysis. Well done! Congrats!

[alegalla]

good job guys, i like your roto- machine looks like simple and easy

[wesleysoo]

whats the point of this machine? to create rotational movement? i don't really see how this enhances the process or adds anything to the design, in which case, whats the point?

[albanonabla]

duh, to spread equally the fluid inside de mold!?

[4camilo888]

i worked in rotational plastic molding for 5 years...

[wastedonjackdaniels]

Phenominal! This makes me want to do rotocasting,and vaccumforming now more than ever! Thanks for showing how it's done.

[soundchippa]

hehe, i like it this shit. really well done. going to give a capacitation next week ill use this to show my students how easy it could be making a roto mold machine. keep on investigagting. life need people like you :)

[RobinJamesMack]

This is sweet man. Where do you study? Your campus looks like mine slightly. We are building '3d printers' right now.

[mx444bee]

awesome, you guys make shit happen

[ricardoalvg]

Great job! What kind of material do you use to make the little ducks?

[effektmakeren]

Brilliant work guys!

I`m about to build one myself - thanks for the detailed info of your build.

Cheers!
