Machine: Morgan-Press Injection Molding Machine
Master: Clint Reinhart
General Info:
- This machine requires training. Please attend a training session at a Maker’s Monday to get trained on this machine.
- This machine is used to produce solid plastic parts using hot plastic injection molding
- A metal mold is needed to use this machine. This mold can be machined using the CNC Mill
- Plastic stock is needed to use this machine. This stock is provided in the form of plastic beads and is free to use for low volume jobs
- Knowledge of “design for manufacture” is suggested for use of this machine. It is very easy to design a part that cannot be removed or properly injected.
