A Liquid-Resin-Injection Molding Press I designed for cycloaliphatic epoxy bushings. Another "impossible" project, ahead of schedule, under budget. You could buy one for $500,000 to $1,000,000 that would run 2-3 times faster. I built three for about $12,000 each. A tool and die maker quoted $60,000 for one mold. I designed my own and had them cut at a machine shop for about $4,500 each. The expensive presses have noisy hydraulic pumps that run all day. This press uses pneumatics, and make no noise, except when you open or close them. I hate a noisy workplace.
