Hi Guys and Girls,
Dave from PDC Gaming here.
Here at PDC we have been hacking around with the idea of making some Injection Mould Tools for plastic war games components and accessories in 28mm – as PDC Ltd, Plastic is what we do for a living – and, as a good portion of us are modellers and gamers, it has been almost a natural progression!
Below are some of the images from the Concept CAD work we have been doing – you can find more of these on our Facebook page - [URL="https://www.facebook.com/pdc.gaming"]PDC Gaming on Facebook[/URL] - swing by and see what we have been up to!
Other Manufacturers Miniatures shown for Scale Purposes ONLY.
As you can also see from this image, we have been using our Rapid Prototyper to produce First Pass prototype models – these allow us to check things like scale, fit, and whether the components are suitable for manufacture in a plastic injection environment.
So – to the end of my ramble!
On May the 4th 2013 (Happy Star Wars Day!) we will be launching our First Kickstarter Campaign!
[URL="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1474140048/toys-for-your-toys-science-fiction-wargaming-acces"]PDC Gaming Kickstarter[/URL] - The Kickstarter is now LIVE!
Our funding target is only £10,000 – this would enable us to lay down 3 different injection mould tools to run here in the UK – using the machines we already have at PDC Towers.
The pictures below show samples from the Assault Rifle prototype tool which we have manufactured in the run-up to the launch of the campaign – sprues from this will be up for grabs at certain levels of the Kickstarter!
Please swing by and give us a look – hopefully you like what we’re doing!
Cheers,
All the Boys @ PDC Gaming.
