The Mold-A-Rama is a novelty injection molding machine created in the 50's that was displayed in places such as museums and zoos. These machines created plastic models right before patron's eyes. The goal of our project was to recreate this machine to output Purdue related memorabilia, while iterating on the original process. The hope form our client is to display this product on campus in order to inspire, excite, and engage both newcoming and returning students alike.
