Industrial-Grade Soft Molding Now Fits on Your Desk, Empowering DIY Creators, Educators, and Entrepreneurs
Dickinson, TX – JUNE 2025 – SALTGATOR Tech Inc., an Dickinson-based startup dedicated to accessible fabrication tools, is proud to announce the launch of its Kickstarter campaign for the SALTGATOR — the world’s first desktop soft-gel injection molding machine. Compact, safe, and remarkably versatile, SALTGATOR puts industrial-grade molding capabilities into the hands of everyday creators.
