AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,

Man, imagine how much they would be if a Dentist really did do them though. Those molds (which I thankfully did NOT pay for) would shock most people with their size and complexity. You know how big the T3 is and you would think the molds might be like maybe 3-4 inches bigger all around but they are actually HUGE...like a 2 foot by 3 foot block. I guess its because the hot plastic is forced in with several hundred tons of pressure and it would suck if the mold exploded.

They also have these ejector pins and closable gates and all kinds of stuff. I have seen video and this little guy reaches into this like maw and slips the inserts onto locator pins, the top hydraulically clamps down, the machine does the shot, maw opens and the part is ejected and the little guy hustles the next batch of inserts in place...and it looked like it was a timed cycle, not switched so I would hate to be the guy who reaches in there...you have to be fast but also careful because the brass inserts can scratch the aluminum and those scratches then have to be polished out.
