I've been exploring the use of 3D printed molds with INJEKTO, the DIY desktop plastic injection machine. So far, the results have been incredible! In this video, I demonstrate how I made replacement propellers for my drone. The entire setup is super easy, and using the machine is even easier. I'm excited to see what I can make next. Stay tuned as I'll be posting more creations using 3D printed, aluminum and steel molds.
INJEKTO can be used by hobbyists, entrepreneurs and for rapid prototyping. Kits are available on our website at www.actionbox.ca

    From what I've seen, good quality metal molds can be thousands of dollars. How do you achieve quality with a 3D printed mold? Also, how do you prevent a plastic-on-plastic part from fusing or the heat of the liquid plastic degrading a plastic mold? How many times can the mold be used? Doesn't a metal mold serve a dual purpose by acting as a heat sync to quickly cool the parts, and wouldn't a plastic mold act as an insulator? Overall, it seems very cool and useful. I'm just curious why you dont see plastic molds more often!

    This mold is made of UV-curable resin on an SLA printer, not FDM/FFF. Thermal constraints aren't a concern in this application as a result. You'd be correct in assuming metal molds are more efficient in terms of time from injection to ejection due to the difference in part cooling rates, but metal molds are also likely to employ coolant channels to facilitate the rapid cooling of the part for mass production. Metal molds are the status quo due to their wear resistance and production efficiency. Printed molds are only found in the hobbyist and small entrepreneurial spaces as they're cheap to produce, easily iterable, and simple. You would never see them on an industrial scale.

    Why does something that melts and squirts plastic into a mould cost so much? Is there something more complex about the machine that I'm not realising?

    @@joshuaisaacs8970 An industrial injection molding machine is hundreds of thousands of dollars into the millions. The mold itself is thousands up to tens of thousands or even much higher depending on the complexity of the mold. The mold is expensive because it needs to be designed by an engineer and then machined. The engineering is expensive because you have to design the mold for proper plastic flow, for the specific injection ports, flow simulation, selecting the right materials, surface finishes, etc. Machining time is also not cheap. For consumer products, injection molding is usually only economical if you’re making hundreds of thousands or millions of copies of the part where you can amortize the mold cost across all the individual parts.

    Resin molds are relatively common for small run injection molds. You're not gonna get anywhere the number of parts out of it compared to an aluminum or, better yet, a steel mold. But it's great for doing a few tens of parts.
