But most plastic components these days are created by huge, expensive plastic injection molding machines. Molten plastic is forced under enormous pressure into intricate molds. On the surface it appears to be a technology well beyond the realm of the home shop. At last, here is the book that simplifies this technology making it possible for you to inexpensively injection mold small parts from common recycled plastic. You get complete step-by-step instructions revealing the secrets of building a small inexpensive tabletop injection molding machine capable of molding up to a half ounce of plastic. Although a half ounce may not appear to be much plastic, the truth is, that it is more than enough to produce many small useful items. Best of all you'll be molding with plastic recycled from milk jugs, soda pop bottles, plastic oil cans, and more. Your raw materials are free and plentiful. You will learn the basic principles of injection molding and how to design and make your own molds. You will start by making a simple mold to test the machine. Then you will mold a plastic knob for the machine itself. Next, you'll progress to a mold that creates a small plastic container with a snap lid. Before long you will be creating new products of your own design. You will be able to cast replacements for broken or missing parts, or you can make copies of plastic components. The possibilities are endless. The moldings are incredibly professional in quality. Your friends will never understand how you were able to do it. Injection molding is a technology that has given us an incredible standard of living. Here are the secrets that will allow you to put this technology to work in your home shop. Build a molder, and explore a whole new technology today. Review: 5.0 out of 5 stars - A Hidden Gem for DIY Enthusiasts and Engineers Alike - Reviewed on March 22, 2025 I stumbled across “Secrets of Building a Plastic Injection Molding Machine” while looking for resources on small-scale manufacturing, and I’m so glad I did! This book is a fantastic blend of practical advice, technical know-how, and step-by-step guidance that makes an intimidating subject surprisingly approachable. Whether you’re a hobbyist with a workshop or someone interested in the nuts and bolts of plastic molding, this book delivers. The author does an excellent job breaking down the process of designing and constructing a functional injection molding machine. The instructions are clear, with helpful diagrams and explanations that don’t assume you’re already an expert. I appreciated how it balances theory with real-world application—there’s enough detail to satisfy the curious mind, but it never feels overwhelming. What stood out most was the emphasis on doing this on a budget. It’s refreshing to find a resource that encourages creativity and resourcefulness rather than relying on expensive equipment. I’ve already started applying some of the concepts to a small project of my own, and the results are promising so far. My only minor gripe is that it could use a bit more on troubleshooting common issues—maybe a second edition could expand on that. But honestly, that’s a small quibble for such a valuable guide. If you’re into DIY engineering or want to understand plastic molding from the ground up, this book is well worth the investment. Highly recommend!
