I could probably help out a little Ed.
I've done a lot of things but one of them was 30 years designing and
building injection molds.

I have a post-grad certificate in plastic injection mold design, but
John would probably be a better bet.

I've got a few years under my belt running injection mold presses. Only
complete hydraulic, no toggles. Mostly on HPM and Cincinnati. My focus was
on running them faster, adding pickers, going to runnerless molds, etc. Not
much prototype work.
