Abstract
NJECT-3D is a student initiated design project where the utilities of a 3D printer and an injection molding machine are integrated into one cohesive unit. The goal of our project was to test the limits of rapid prototyping by utilizing printed molds. We developed an automated system where a mold can be printed on a 3D printer, translated from said 3D printer to an injection molder, then compressed and injected at said injection molder to output a finalized injection molded part.

Comments
Together with a group of two electrical engineers and two computer engineers, our group of five mechanical engineers developed an automated system where 3D printed molds can be used as molds for injection molding as a single cohesive unit.
