I have never seen a posting here on them.
If anyone has one, what are your thoughts.
For lack of posts, is it because there are there more efficient ways to do prototype injection molding? If so, does anyone have any links.
Thanks so much,
CR

These methods might also be considered for your projects

If not for this something else

Seems to me like a solution in search of a problem.... For about the same money, you can buy a stand-alone, hand-operated injection molding machine, and not have to bother with the setup on the machine.

What type of parts are you trying to mold? Size? Volume? Type of plastic?
Unless you are are making only a few very small parts the Tormach injection molding add on probably won't be very useful.
I'd have to agree with Ray ! Keep the machine open for business and use a simple molding machine for your parts.

Problem is that those tiny machines only work for very small parts, shot size, injection force and clamping force will limit you to only small parts with thick walls.
Thank you for everyone's responses.
MD, I will look into Freeman Supply.
I am just getting to where I may need to do some small-ish parts.
3D printers are becoming so affordable that I may go that route.
Best,

I made some silicone molds form 3d printed parts and milled parts. You can then use resin (many different kinds are available) to cast parts. If you invest in a small vacuum camber ($200) and possibly even in a pressure chamber, you can get some decent results.
