The sheer engineering and craftmanship to design the moulds and machines, let alone the lego, is just incredible. I am also a diehard warhammer hobbiest, and its rare to ever get to see the duel, and now quad, injection machines. It is an extremely high skilled job, and most people in the industry are snapped up by big medical companies (thats where the real money is in mould design now), so seeing how amazing these factories are is like art in itself. So thankyou for showing this. It makes me appreciate what it takes to get our hobby in our hands.

The other day I dug out an old book I have, “The World of LEGO Toys”, from 1987, which includes a chapter all about the manufacturing process as well as packaging. I was really hoping that you’d get to show them packing the boxes up close as I suspect the general process probably hasn’t changed much between then and now. The book specifically points out the surprising amount of automation for the time and that there weren’t many employees roaming around. It also found at least seven different ways to brag about how high LEGO’s standards of quality are compared to any other company that produces injection-molded plastic products.

For info, the tubes at the side of the mold carry coolant water, not plastic. The plastic comes form behind the fixed side of the mold, behind that part is a heated tube with a hydraulic piston that pushes the plastic into the mold. Also these are cold runner molds, meaning the mold makes the Lego parts and a bit of plastic called the "sprue" that gets ground back into plastic and put back into the machine.

"the 2 tubes" don't inject plastic. There part of the cooling circle and just contain water. The plastic gets injected on the opposite side of where the parts leave on the conveyor belt. Tubes would just break as the plastic gets injected with around 1000 bar (14500 psi).

Interesting. Many sites were selling the Lego set with pink tyres in Dec 2023. Also if you have a toy shop etc, the trade shows in January are great to attend and if you're able to get an appointment with Lego, you'll get to sign an NDA and can get a look at the upcoming sets for the entire year prior to them being released. I have done this many times in London. Their stand is basically a huge Lego Brick enclosed so you can't see inside like other booths. But it's fun to see the sets for the entire year before everyone else does (and of course place certain orders, especially as most of us placed some of the Christmas orders by March (9 months early!). Sadly LEGO are not very good at delivering what is ordered though, it's about 50/50 whether or not they deliver on exactly what you ordered unlike other toy sellers/distributors. LEGO definitely like creating demand and underproducing on purpose, as well as not caring too much for independent businesses/toy stores selling Lego. But the LEGO reps were always nice.

@skeletonpatch8 ай бұрын
My assumption is that the two colours are not injected at the same time in the same mold, and that the process is like the dual-molded wheels with rubber tires we saw in the video. The first colour is injected in one mold, then the half-finished part is moved to a separate mold for the second colour. If both were injected at the same time I can’t imagine it’d be possible to have a clean separation of colours that doesn’t blend.
@Orixil8 ай бұрын
For dual-moulded elements there are two separate injection streams of plastic, so in the case of a mini leg the mould is filled half-way with one color first, and then the remaining color afterward. In the case of something like a stormtrooper helmet one part of the helm is moulded first, then the mould is opened and the element is lifted out by a robotic arm and put into a new mould which then injects the plastic for the remaining part of the helmet, i.e. it does it white and black parts in separate moulds. And since you mention the dual-moulded mini leg, it is ironically one of the more challenging elements to produce, because it has to be very precise in terms of measurements due to assembly (hip) and decorations. How do you get it so precise? Skill, basically. Top-tier injection moulding. Some elements do have higher scrap percentage than others (dual-moulded mini leg versus standard 2x4 brick for example).
