Plastic Molding

[awsomeears]

Anyone in the molding bizznes or know buddy's who are educated in it ?


I make these custom dashes and well there a pain to make but I sell them for a decent ammount :thumbsup

My normal full time job takes up most of my time, and the other time im just tired.

What local shop can I take this dash to and have them make a mold and then reproduce it x ammount of batches ?

Master Tool and Mold in Grafton. (262) 377-8030

You can give them a call and most likely you will talk with Jim, their top mold designer. If you get Terry or Lyle, just ask for Jim.

How do you plan on manufacturing the part once you have the mold? Are you going to a molding company and have them do it for you or are you going to buy your own injection molding machine.

If it is not injection molded, what is it?

I'm not looking for a MOLD to be made, im looking for a company that will take my dash make there own mold and produce a bunch for X ammount of $$.

Bump this up from the dead. Well im getting a shit load of neon owners asking me about these dashes and I have to find a place to make a Mold and then make 50 or 100 of them.

My father is in that industry but on the mass production level. I left him a voicemail asking if he knew any shops around the area, but I'm sure he'll get back to me tomorrow.

Wow...those really do look amazing.

theres a huge demand for the GM Performance Parts Autocross Grilles for the 04-06 GTOs, i wonder if they could do them too. They just discontinued them like last month, and now the grilles are going for $600+ on e-bay, and cost $200 new.

BTW, thats some great work.

Make your own mold using the products from this company:

http://www.smooth-on.com/

They make a variety of rubbers, foams, acrylics, plastics...all kinds of stuff.

Some are good for molds while others are good for the molded parts. Any flexibilty, color, transparency, or density can be attained. Molds can be soft or hard.

I went to this company a few weeks ago looking for info on acrylic glass resin because I wanted to do my own castings for custom aquarium parts.

I saw one of these you made in person awhile back, they do look great. Good luck finding a way to produce them, I think the cost is up there for making the mold itself.

Ya...the mold itself will probably be quite expensive.
