Hi there !
I'm brand new here, and first of all, I'd like to convey to all of you my warm greetings and to express my admiration for your work.
My name is Vincent, I'm a designer and I'd like to experiment with recycled plastic.
Since it's easier and cheaper to use wood than metal with my fablab's CNC router, I'd like to know if it's possible to inject melted plastic into wooden molds. The ignition temperature of wood is between 250 and 300°C. And most of the plastics fusion points (correct me if I'm wrong) are below these temperatures, so theoretically it could work, no ?
I thank you in advance for your replies.
Best Regards
