As as person who spent his entire career in this industry doing everything from starting out sweeping the floor to General Manager I can only say excellent video! I really enjoy anything that promotes the skilled trades to our youth!
How fascinating it all is. Especially as I am now 71 and always wondered how the Plastic scale kit manufacturers got such fantastic detail for the planes, tanks, bikes and cars I love to build. I am enlightened, just a little bit more. thank you. Kerry COX.
Wow, this is a very good video describing and explaining different jobs in a mold factory. I can't agree more with the machinist: "i like machining, because everyday,there is something new."
Good video! As former mold maker and now a quality engineer with auto industry my entire career prepared me for the role I have now….. I do miss making molds though.
Good job! I'm also focusing on injection molding industry more than 10 years. I like this kind of video to promote industry technology. Thanks for your sharing.
Very very charming very expensive all injection mould making and CNC machine EDM machine all employee is very very successful and all everything is very charming
Almost nobody uses 3d printing in mold making. It was done on manual mills and pattern mills where you would carve a mold out of something soft like plastic, get everything perfect then pattern the part onto something steel.
hi I have completed my 4 year diploma in tool and die making from IDTR (INDO DANISH TOOL ROOM). now i want to make my career in injection mould design, can please suggest me any course or apprenticeship or any other program to learn and make my career in design. I'm have very much knowledge in tool designing i have already designed moulds now i want to enhance my knowledge and skills.
7:48 "All parts that are going into the molds are extremely precise" A few seconds later: ...but I need to adjust them by my huge wheel grinder a little bit
The final fit on a mold is extremely precise and it requires "fitting". The molded areas are often in the thousandths of an inch but final fit is ten times more precise.
Precise does not mean precise enough. When your milling over 3 feet of steel like most cnc mills do, it's hard to get sub thousands of an inch. But sometimes you need half a thousands of an inch. When the mill is literally able to split hairs by going a thousands of an inch at a time, I'd call that precise but it's not always good enough.
In the UK you might as well stack beans in a supermarket ---the pay is about the same and you are just as well thought of ----engineering is a dirty word in the UK and toolmaking is not even regarded as a profession
You guys broke up the tool maker trade to much... you need to do it all from design, program anything, setup anything, fit anything. Send the tool out to be shot.
The comments throughout the video are laughable. These people are working in a factory making pieces of plastic that will end up in the garbage or the ocean. I know, I have worked in the plastics industry for 35 years, believe me there is nothing exceptional or wonderful about it.
The skill level between a button pusher and a great CAM machinist is like the difference between a janitor at a hospital and a surgeon. Saying "i have worked int he plastics industry for 35 years" means nothing.
