Description

This 3D model is designed to fit over the hopper of the APSX-PIM injection molding machine, providing a protective barrier to help reduce contamination and improve safety during operation. It’s tailored to the machine’s dimensions and can be easily removed for cleaning or maintenance.

For best results, the model should be printed on its side to ensure optimal strength and surface quality. 

Ideal for use in labs, workshops, or production environments, this cover helps maintain a cleaner workspace and supports consistent material flow into the hopper.
