Workboot

The challenge of this injection molding project was to design an object within carefully defined parameters for part thickness and profile. The part needed to fit within a 2x3 in mini mold and have specified ejector pin holes. The greater focus of this project was to learn how to operate an Arburg Press and design an effective gate and runner.

This project a girly take on the my machine shop workboots: an invitation for girls to put on their workboots and tool belts in male dominated engineering environments. It is meant to be worn as a shoe lace tag, sewn shirt tag or even a key chain.
