Don't even try to get brain-dead Google to find this under its proper
terminology---diecast machine.
Homemade plastic injection machines from Gingery et. al are faster and
more versatile, but scrap aluminum is everywhere
for the cost of picking it up (you will have to make a small
non-ferrous foundry too), and for a few applications aluminum parts are
better---except where self-lubricating HDPE reduces friction) On the
other hand you need a small gfanulator to re-use your plastic
scrap---you just remelt pieces of aluminum scrap.
