This guide provides information to create a Coin Bottle Opener.

The design accommodates a 10 Swiss cent coin, but you can adjust the parameters in the Fusion file for a different coin.

This model can be used for giveaways or workshop products. For selling the openers or molds, please contact the designer.

    Download the file and adapt the parameters

    The opener is designed to accommodate a 10 Swiss cent piece.

    Adjust the parameters to match your coin's dimensions carefully. Incorrect measurements may cause the mold to leak, as it will not close properly, leaving a gap (if the coin is too wide) or allowing material to cover the coin (if the coin is too thin).

    Modify the necessary parameters for CNC milling.

    Feedback from our experience

    Mould Material and Usage

    • Material: Aluminum
      • Longevity: Used for 5 years, shows scratches but remains effective.
      • Alternative: Steel for extended durability.

    Plastic and Color Recommendations

    • Plastic: Polypropylene
      • Performance: Optimal results.
    • Color Mixing:
      • Preference: Mixed colors, especially transparent.
      • Popularity: Black/white combinations are favored.

    Injection Process

    • Ease of Use: Mould design allows straightforward injection.
    • Heating: Rarely needed due to the mould's compact shape.
    • Key Consideration: Ensure adequate pressure; insufficient pressure may cause plastic not to adhere properly at the base, resulting in an incomplete finish.

To create a Coin Bottle Opener, ensure you have the following tools, software, and hardware:

Software

  • Fusion 360 for design customization and CNC parameter adjustment[1][5].

Hardware

  • CNC Milling Machine for mold fabrication[4][5].
  • Aluminum mold material (durable, scratch-resistant)[3][6].
  • Steel mold material (longer-lasting alternative to aluminum)[3][6].

Tools

  • Injection Molding Machine for plastic part production[6][8].
  • Calibration Tools to ensure precise coin dimensions (prevents mold leaks)[2][4].
  • Pressure Application Tools to secure plastic adhesion during injection[8].
  • Material Handling Equipment for polypropylene plastic[7].
  • Color Mixing Tools for transparent or black/white combinations[7][8].
