Galomb Inc.’s Mix-Molder System includes the Model S-100 hand-operated injection molding machine and Model M-100 miniature polymer mixing device. The system allows users to mix small quantities of plastics, additives and fillers, and then immediately inject. Potential uses include experimenting with new polymer blends; making samples for tensile and Izod tests, among others; quality control and batch testing of recycled resins; creating prototypes and doing short production runs.

Newly available is a line of aluminum master mold frames. With these, users can print their own mold cavities to fit within the frames that serve as a support structure for the mold. Galomb notes that some 3D CAD files of printable molds will be made available free download. By combining 3D printed molds with the Mix-Molder System, Galomb says users can produce real injection molded prototype parts in a much shorter time frame.
