What your process engineer actually checks
From printed prototype to molded part
We use injection molding to bridge our own printed prototypes into short runs, so install includes validated parameters for your resin and tooling guidance. The team that trains you actually molds parts — not a distributor reading a manual.
An applications engineer on the line
Questions on tooling, shot size, cycle times, or pellet selection? A named applications engineer answers directly. Most replies in under 4 hours, NDA standard.
About this product
Curated Resin Set for Fast-Track Learning on Desktop Injection Molding Machines
Get molding on day one. This curated starter kit includes four proven thermoplastics, each selected to help new APSX-PIM users learn flow, cooling, and process tuning fast. Every resin is packaged for classroom, R&D, and prototyping and works seamlessly with the pre-installed test mold on new APSX-PIM machines, making it the ideal solution for machine shakedown, student labs, and process training.

Key Features & Benefits
- Fast Onboarding: Start producing test parts within minutes of machine setup.
- Comparative Learning: Observe and contrast the behavior of rigid vs. flexible materials.
- Visual Feedback: Use colored PP to see and understand complex flow and filling phenomena.
- Optimized Workflow: Includes a dedicated purge material (HDPE) for fast, clean changeovers.
- Classroom Ready: Sealed, labeled bags are ideal for repeated use in lab and training environments.
Primary Learning Applications
- Injection Molding Process Fundamentals
- Machine Operation and Parameter Tuning (Temperature, Pressure, Cycle Time)
- Material Behavior Comparison (Flow, Shrinkage, Ejection)
- Academic and Vocational Training Labs
- R&D and Prototyping Workflows
Processing Notes (For APSX-PIM with Test Mold)
- Start with PP Natural to establish baseline machine settings.
- Purge with HDPE when switching between PP and TPE to prevent cross-contamination.
- Use Colored PP to visually study fill patterns and identify knit lines.
- No pre-drying required for these selected grades when sealed; re-seal bags promptly after use.

Need tooling or a specific resin?
We mold our own. Tooling and trials on request.
Need a mold built, an insert cut, or a trial run before committing? We can produce tooling and run sample shots on the actual machine so you see molded parts first. Typical tooling lead 2–4 weeks.
