MOULD

The most technically innovative and unique part of project RPSD is our open source mould, which is used to form the skateboard decks. Previously it did not exist, which means we can proudly say this is the first in the world of its kind to be released.

The mould consists of three CNC cunt aluminium pieces that form the shape of the deck. The mould is electronically heated whilst molten plastic is injected into the mould using an extrusion machine. It also features an adjustable height table, a quick release handle and suspension for easy operation.

The mould is fully open source, all the information you need to make one yourself is completely free for you to download. Click the “BUILD” button below. Alternativley, if you would like us to build one for you, click the “BUY” button below.
