Mold

The goal of this project was to design and manufacture an injection mold for something “useful” and then make some actual plastic parts with a Morgan Press. I worked with Justin Duhamel, and we decided to help fix a problem we had noticed in the machine shop which was dirty mills. We designed a mold for a T-Slot cleaner to help scrape chips from the bed of the mills. After CADing in SolidWorks and generating Mastercam tool paths, we got to work fabricating. The video below shows our process:

 Below I have included some photos of our final mold and some plastic parts we molded.
