Here are a variety of tinted-transparent materials all shot from an aluminum tool created by Vista Technologies.
This part was over-molded. The grey material is a ABS/Polycarbonate blend
and the blue over-mold material is Santoprene. These parts are used for
low-volume production and shot from a 1+1 family aluminum mold.
These parts were made from an Aluminum tool and shot over 40,000 parts out
of ABS. This tool was used as a "bridge tool" while the production tool was
being built. VistaTek "Bridge Tools" show great benefits and value to keep production and revenues up in the short run.
This meter was made from a 1+1+1+1 family aluminum tool. The clear lens was
made from Polycarbonate and the other three parts were made from colored
ABS. Again these tools are used in low-volume injection molding (lvim) production.
