Hi Friends,I am wendy,is there anyone in injection mold business? I come here to recommend our factory for the business opportunity sincerely.Tikon Mold is located in Shenzhen city, China with ISO 9001 certification. We have made lots of molds with DME and Hasco standard for our US and European customers for many years. Please email to me for further details: wendy4mold at hotmail dot com.
Yes a mold can be made out of plaster of paris, but it self destructs after 1 injection. The plaster of paris isn't really made for it but, if you wanted to make a prototype it is perfect for it.
Thanks for the comment. Currently, I am testing aluminum epoxy, that should reduce the cost. I will know better about the epoxy test after this weekend. Just waiting for a mold to cure. However, I have also purchased some CNC equipment to try out as well.
Currently I am trying A30 from smooth on. It is a cement like epoxy, which appears to deteriorate at over 100 degrees. I didn't realize when i bought. I am now going to try another epoxy from cotronics. higher temperature rating and is machinable. So i can sculpt an injection mold and use my machine to make my parts. The cnc equipment I am using is coming from a guy named andy at modular cnc for 600.00 made out of MDF. I can show you my progress if you visit my site listed on video.

think some heavy duty g clamps for hdpe might make it possible. you will need plenty of heat at nozzle.

Ho can I made one of this injection machine??

to make intricate parts you will still need a cnc milled mold. that alone would bulk up the cost, no?

You mean using aluminium as a mold? Would it withstand the heat of the plastic being injected into it?
Btw what CNC equipment did you purchase?

Thanks for commenting the black metal part is a scissor jack and the I use a heat element which is wrapped around the cylinder.

Interesting. What do you call that black metal part that pushes down on the steel rod? And how do you heat plastic inside the chamber?
