DIY rotomold machine built whilst studying in our 3rd year on BA Product design. The video takes you through the journey as we built and tested the machine. The machine was built at no cost from scrap materials and recycled parts. This was not part of our degree in any way just a process that we wanted to explore and learn for ourselves. Let us know what you think and if you have any questions we will be happy to answer!

  • What material did you use in the video for the mould for the ducks?

    And what kind of plastic for the ducks itself?

    I'm assigned to make such a schoolproject as well, and this video is very helpfull!

  • awesome

    

  • 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!

  • This is awesome guys, great tunes to boot! It makes me miss college...
