I build plastic injection molds for a living, mostly for automotive. I rarely get to see the tools run at an injection facility so this is so cool to see! When I first got in to disc golf and people started talking about different molds I was immediately like wow I understand. Love this part of disc golf! Keep up with what you guys are doing because it's awesome!!

I work with injection molded products. The Engineer guy video you had a small clip of here is an excellent education tool for new colleagues who know nothing about the process. This was also very interesting view on the injection molding process from a disc manufacturing view point. I might need to share this with my colleagues as well.

Having taken college classes on injection molding and years of work in the industry, I have to say, this is legitimately one of the most effective and accessible explanations of the process and equipment that I've ever seen! Really great work, it's so awesome to see the journey and passion you put into it! Now just gotta speed up the clamp action and add a robot w/ suction end-of-arm to automate the process and cut down the cycle time... then you'll really be cranking out discs! XD

I would love to see you talk about how companies are getting swirls and orbit rims. From the way you describe it, it seems like it would involve a totally different process or potentially introducing the heated plastic later in the 'screw' but it still feels like that wouldn't be at all possible with this current setup. Love what you are doing, glad you are back.

I have quite a lot of experience of injection moulding and making a disc with center sprue is the simplest part by theory. If you use sensitive material like TPU you should consider a hopper drier directly on your machine, when you handle the material it starts to absorb moisture directly. Also make sure that you use a dry air unit and not a hot air unit, hot air units are good for simple materials like some ABS or PE and PP, but for TPU you need the low dew point that a dry air unit using dessicant drying. If you have questions you can ask me anything about the process.

There's a few simulation software packages specifically for injection molding that helps you figure out the hardest bits; basically controlling the shot size, material flow rate and how the mold will fill up with specific polymers (and a whole lot more). Solidworks Plastic is arguably the industry standard, though there's a few stand-alone packages also which cost even more than Solidworks, surprisingly. I'd have to check my bookmarks to list alternatives, though I wouldn't be surprised if Siemens has something for SolidEdge or a stand-alone also.

At RPM they found recycling TPU into discs is not great as It results in shorter disc lifespans. And even though they carefully retained all their 2nds, they had no way to use them. And then they started producing the Weta Mini. And of course a mini doesn't suffer the extreme life of a heavy thrown disc, and so they are now using their big stash of seconds to mould their minis, with zero cost for plastic - except chopping and drying.
