HoliMaker designs, manufactures, and assembles HoliPress plastic injection molding machines in France.
HoliPress machines are suitable for prototyping, plastics education, material testing, plastic waste recycling, and pre-production production.
Ensuring durability and ease of use, our plastic injection molding machines offer significant time savings and cost reductions, ensuring great versatility to meet and adapt to your needs.
HoliPress removes the constraints of industrial standards, particularly in terms of mold reception, which gives it great freedom of design but also ease of use.
Industrial quality
20 times faster than FDM 3D printing, the injected parts have a finish and mechanical strength approaching that of industrial plastic injection (equivalent tensile test). With your manual strength, you can produce a finished part every 3 minutes.
By injecting industrial material into granules, HoliPress allows you to produce test specimens to characterize the different types of materials and mass-produce your parts.
Easy loading of materials
Switch from one plastic material to another without changing machines: it’s now possible with HoliPress. Material is fed quickly via the lever rotation system . The French manual injection press can melt and inject a wide range of plastic materials with extremely varied characteristics into molds.
Simplified and rapid maintenance in complete safety
HoliPress has been designed to control your maintenance costs. You can purge your HoliPress and clean the nozzle independently using the tools included in the Starter Pack. Because your safety is paramount, we also provide a PPE protection kit including a pair of safety glasses and thermal gloves.
Versatility
HoliPress makes manual injection molding accessible: you can inject all plastic materials that are injected in industry at less than 320°C.
Our French manual press is an ideal machine for prototyping your parts, it allows you to test the injection of your materials, produce your parts in recycled plastic and also test your solutions in good material injection.
The fields of application of HoliPress are very broad: engineering and product design (mechanical parts, watches, automobiles, electronics, etc.), health and pharmaceutical industry, communication objects, games and toys, education and training.
Eliminating intermediaries and saving time
The time between designing the object and manufacturing the part by injection is shortened thanks to HoliPress. Using 3D printed molds in-house reduces costs and lead times compared to metal molds machined by an intermediary (mold makers and injectors).
Our French manual presses complement the tools used in your prototyping ecosystem, including mold manufacturing using 3D printing, laser cutting, and CNC. You can verify and control each production step before production begins without compromising the quality of the parts produced.
You gain flexibility, time and cost.
Produce your injection molds using different processes and materials:
Machining Steel, aluminum, copper, dense wood
3D Printing Resin or FDM 3D Printing
Laser cutting and engraving PMMA, metals, dense wood
