You can make the molds completely yourself using CNC to mill the lathe or simply welding them.

.... What? "mill the lathe"? I think they accidentally a word in there.

These lines can be used to make new raw material (3d printing filament), granulate, spinned around a mold or up to you to find new creative ways.
Well suited to make large and more solid objects, the oven itself is also a great machine for prototyping and making plastic test.
Since it works with molds you can easily replicate and set up a production.

This website desperately needs copy-editing.

Also, I'm completely tired of people coming into an existing engineering discipline and deciding to come up with a whole bunch of terms for existing processes. It's not "a injection", it's *an injection molding machine. All the new terminology does is make things extra confusing.

The people behind the project are Dutch, German, Mexican [0] and none of them -from what I could see- would normally speak English as their first language.

Why don't you send an email to point out the mistakes in their text? [1]

They might even appreciate it :)
