..you had access to a small injection moulding machine?

Well, 2 actually. Hardly used and currently mothballed and about to be scrapped as the contract they were bought for is over. Such a shame to see them going to waste :'(
 
I would make sure i can keep access to at least one of these machines ;)

What are your options? Do you have a place to store this, if you get one?
 
What type of machines? Battenfeld? Tonnage?

And what tooling?
 
Not sure about the tonnage etc. as only got a quick look round... but it's open door so I can go back as the place is one of our suppliers.

As far as moulds go, the owner of the machines is a toolmaking facility that make their own and a friend from work is an ex-plastics injection moulding engineer... plus I have some technical background in die design, although not directly plastics.

There's a dryer / pre-conditioning unit attached to the larger machine as it was used to do prototyping work for McLaren in GRN.
