Re: Small Injection molding unit?

Dan,

Does this book go into mold making at all? I'm going into tool and
die next year at college, and will probably apprentice as a mold
maker - but damnit, I want to know _now_! :)

I'm not looking for a $15 book that tells me how to make BMW bumper
molds, but I would like to be able to do short-run productions,
perhaps just as a little *business* between us hobbyists.

Also, could the machine described in this book be automated (using
hydraulics/pneumatics and PLC's)?

Thanks for any insight.

Regards,

Robin
