Sector67 just added a blow molder and extruder to its makerspace yesterday. Although the first attempts with the blow molder and a coin barrel mold were a little rough, a lot has been learned, and a few containers recognizable as coin barrels have already been made.
The current goal with the extruder is to be able to produce filament that could be used in the many 3D printers here at Sector67. This would allow old 3D printed prototypes to be ground back up into pellets, extruded into filament, and recycled for more 3D printing.
