As a PE with over 40 years experience in the tooling and injection molding industry, I have but one comment to share. Nice job!

[@BB-km5nv]

Wow long time of doing something positive

[@kcox3090]

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.

[@tonyprice8108]

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!

[@DashanruoshuiTechnology]

Nice!!!

[@taiyouprecision9085]

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."

[@frank921rivera]

ive spent my last 15 years in the injection molding industry. great video. might be time for me to move into the toolroom

[@leonardoherreraalsina5000]

Your video is absolutely neat. You really made me understand the different stages during the whole process. Thanks a lot!

[@johnfordmachinetools277]

Indeed, we cannot live without plastic, and without molds for sure!

[@WoodyAllstar]

Great video. This is just what I have been looking for to promote our industry. Well Done!!!!

[@sparksandchips]

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.

[@modernmachineshop]

Thanks for sharing!

[@emilyleone4839]

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.

[@sparrowquan9452]

Thanks,what a pretty nice share !!!,it's not a simple job to make a perfect mold without all factors and steps considered from design to making ...

[@Alxkwmlas]

This vidio is good. but I think that mold flow work is hard. but this is a wisdom and profassional job. I respect this part's masters. thank you

[@BeltramMilos]

Making molds is a very hard, difficult job. Best wishes.

[@TSulemanW]

true

[@crpgtd1465]

[@MAMotinSobujsobuj23]

Thanks

[@mrjithinpj5782]

Italy?. Location please

[@DashanruoshuiTechnology]

Fantastic company and nice people.

[@greysky1252]

How was this done before CNC and 3D printing?

[@kkknotcool]

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.

[@mehulbhardwaj2890]

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.

[@edgararroyave648]

Hola Mehul.....empieza por estudiar y practicar en el que para mi es el mejor software para esta linda profesión.....SOLIDWORKS !!!!!

[@rabindrabehera9866]

Haiii Where are you now?

[@tamarablum9901]

Hola @@edgararroyave648 ¿por dónde recomendarías comenzar a alguien que no sabe nada de esta industria?

[@alexa.davronov1537]

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

[@frank921rivera]

i said the same thing!!!

[@johnc7863]

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.

[@kkknotcool]

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.

[@thomasheisler]

dam i wish i could

[@injectionmachineandsparepa5612]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@enrikeiglesias1758]

I like machining but I dont have a money 😩😩😩😩

[@sameersayyed7173]

I handed all process in india

[@6arbah]

it is not easy job folks

[@wazup3333]

Why are the molds so expensive? This is inhibiting entrepreneurship

[@536767676533766]

True, it is sad. You must be rich to make the molds lol

[@kkknotcool]

Make molds then. Their only expensive because molds take hundreds, sometimes thousands of hours to make. A cnc machine can cost as little as $15k

[@BabaResto]

Where is the best college to study about Mold Maker ? I hope I can make this in my country because of low labour cost here...

[@davidwrighton3914]

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

[@achileztommasinosan7912]

Have faith.. this industry gonna boost up

[@jnsd891]

In the US you can make a good living as ToolMakers, and there are jobs everywhere. You can pick and choose what company and sector to work in

[@aonutube]

So, what's your profession?

[@MegaPettter]

You must be Joking I was making 40k plus Retired now at 49

[@ddhddhddh]

david wrighton

[@justinhanneman9379]

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.

[@philadams493]

seems a little over performed and thus fake

[@poruatokin]

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.

[@davidwrighton3914]

The skill levels required for toolmaking are exceptionaly high ----the ethics about plastic waste is another topic

[@kkknotcool]

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.

[@dfpolitowski2]

Your typing on a beautiful laptop, cell phone at your side, car in the driveway. All made possible through molding. The outcome is wonderful.
