Hi Briphi,
If it is a straightforward, small part, then $500, but it varies. It is less often that they are straightforward. Injection molding has its own learning experiences. It is kind of...

Hi,
I haven't played with the Medium Machine but I know the guy who make the LNS machine at LNS Technologies High Tech Products for Hobby, Education and Business, (disclosure: I make molds for him)....
Hi All,
This is an old link so I don't know if there is ongoing interest. With molding the choice on how to do it depends on how many pieces you want to make, how much money you have to invest, and...
I really hate visiting CNCzone. Every time I come here to look at just one thing there always is something else that looks interesting or informative and I come away learning something, but time...

If you are talking about punching 44x10, 440 holes in 10 calenders and never use the punch again, probably don't need to be too worried about the material. I'd go in my bin of broken drill bits...
Personally have had better luck with HSS on Aluminum than Carbide for small cutters. Carbide cuts beautifully but just one boo-boo and you are replacing a cutter. Takes a lot more time to replace a...
I want to be there!
Don't you hate it when...
Dan,
This is difficult and legal advice may be appropriate. It is important to put away the emotional for the cold legal viewpoint. My thinking is that the paper trail, what there is, will...
