Low-Pressure Injection Molding to Repurpose HDPE.
Sponsor: Hunt & Hunt
Student Team: Mia De La Torre, Ankit Rai, Benedetta Murri, William Gellner, Corbin Whitaker
Faculty Instructor: Dr. Austin Talley
The project focuses on showcasing how HDPE waste can be recycled using a low-pressure injection molding machine to produce durable and sustainable parts. The system is designed to be low-cost per use, safer than traditional high-pressure methods, and accessible for small-scale production. In addition to promoting sustainability and manufacturing, the machine also serves as a hands-on educational tool for engineering and materials processing.
