I am wondering if a press mold cold not be made heated to somewhere in the 550 to 600° f range. then a small pellet of the material be placed in the shaped mold cavity the punch of the same shape be pressed down on the heated pellet to a high enough pressure to for the desired product.
It seems that vespel can be injection molded with very little chemical alteration
Frank, interesting thought. But good luck getting DuPont to sell you that pellet. The better bet is to wait for 3D printing, which will be here sooner than anyone thinks.
E G you might think about Torlon® or Flourosint® as alternatives probably not any more readily available
I'm actually aware of those two materials. The cool thing is there are literally more than a hundred industrial plastics that have never been made into guitar picks by ANYONE.
