This is a job perfect for those who want to work with both metal and plastic. As a mould maker, you will design, make, and repair moulds to mass-produce plastic or metal components and products. You will use hand-moulding techniques, but more often, you will use computer and industrial technology to produce large numbers of identical items. 
 
On the job, you will interpret complex engineering drawings and work-process documents, and then use build mould components with conventional and numerically controlled metal-cutting machines and equipment including saws, drills, grinders, lathes, mills, and EDMs.  ​
