M2.04 - Injection Molding System Recycling HDPE Plastic
Creating an injection molding machine and molds
Sponsor: Hunt & Hunt/Ingram School of Engineering
Student Team: Allison Cespedes, William Atkinson, Jordan Mitchell, Nicholas Caranikas
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Austin Talley
Our project aims to encourage the Texas State community to recycle their HDPE plastic and convert it into new products or gifts through injection molding. Injection molding is the process of melting down shredded plastic and injecting it into a mold where the plastic can take the form of, leaving the user with a new product. The team has created an injection molding machine and is currently manufacturing a variety of molds that will be located in the Ingram Hall Makerspace.
