Molded Plastic caging??

So I've noticed that it seems like more and more people are coming out with their own 'lines' of pvc/plastic molded caging and I'm wondering where they have it done?? Is there a specific business trade/manufacturer in their area that they have talked into doing caging shapes or what?? Specifically, where/how do these cages get made?

It seems like the materials are fairly inexpensive and if you were looking for a large enough run (say... 30 cages?) it might be worthwhile to look into. Anybody in the know with the plastic molding trade??

Cheers,
Kat

there is tons of small thermomolding/vaccummoldingshops all over the country. not to mention it wouldnt take much to make a mold for tubs in the sizes we typically use

Plastic injection molding turns up a lot of results, if you find some decent ones post them up!

i found one site that sold a machine for doing it yourself!
it was kinda cheesy looking though.(off to research more this might be doable at home!)

Its doable at home, heatgun + plastic and you can bend it yourself. There is also some plastic that you boil then you can bend it very easily.
