Applications & Use Cases
- Prototyping & Product Development
- Economically viable for small production runs because of low tooling costs.
- Color mix testing
- Material experimentation
- ASTM tensile specimen production
- Custom replacement parts and repair components
- Educational Programs
Competitive Advantages
- At a fraction of the cost of industrial machines, Vantage makes injection molding accessible to businesses and individuals previously priced out of the market
- Unlike traditional injection molding machines requiring dedicated factory space, Vantage fits on standard workbenches in offices, workshops, or garages
- Promotes lean manufacturing and minimal waste generation through precise material control and local production capabilities
- Quick setup, rapid mold changes, and in-house production eliminate outsourcing delays, enabling faster product iteration
Machine Dimensions & Power
- Desktop-compatible design requiring just 4 ft × 1 ft of workspace. Footprint: 43" H × 10" L × 15" W
- Power requirement: Standard 115VAC wall outlet (750W average, 1600W peak consumption)
- Injection volume: 1.83 cu-in (30 cu-cm) maximum shot size
- Clamping force: 3 tons
- Maximum processing temperature: 600°F (315°C)
- Standard mold size: 6.0" H × 4.8" W (15.24 cm × 12.19 cm)
- Tie bar clearance: 5" (12.7 cm)
- Average cycle time: 20 seconds
- Processes thermoplastic materials with a Melt Flow Rate (MFR) of 3 g/10 min or higher (ASTM D1238 standard)
- Recommended materials: Polypropylene (PP), High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO), Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE)
Molds
- Mold changeover takes approximately 15 minutes, supporting agile manufacturing and rapid product iteration. The machine accommodates both shoulder-bolt-mounted molds and claw-mounted systems, with or without ejector pins
- The injector accepts metal molds (aluminum or steel) and 3D-printed molds for ultra-low-cost prototyping. Blank aluminum molds are available for custom machining, or users can source pre-made molds to their specifications
Maintenance Requirements
- Periodic lubrication every 500 hours of operation: synthetic 10W-30 oil for sliding bushings
Safety
- E-STOP emergency shutoff button on control panel
- Personal protective equipment required: safety goggles or face shield, heat-resistant gloves, safety shoes, and non-synthetic fiber clothing
