Rick Finnie is not only the President and Owner of M.R. Mold, he is also SPE’s Mold Builder of the Year Award Winner. I had the pleasure of speaking with him about how his father got him into the moldmaking industry and the uniqueness of the silicone sector that he has since been a part of. We discussed M.R. Mold’s LSR education and how much it has changed with COVID.
Here is a sneak peek at our conversation:
- Because of silicone’s rare appearance in moldmaking, it can be challenging to work with.
- The moldmaking industry is close-knit, as discussed in his partnership with Sodick.
- The struggles of working with a used metal 3D printing machine (Spoiler alert: it can get “dicey”).
- A Magic 8 Ball can be a great decision-maker when you’re in a tough spot.
