We made our first ever comb our of recycled plastic waste abour 3 years ago. It took ha about 3 hours to make 1 comb, but we were really pleased with the results. When we got a few people asking us if they could buy our combs, we needed a faster and more repeatable way to produce them, plus we wanted to see how popular they would be to a larger audience.

So instead of shelling out a load of money on an untested CNC mould, we used out wazer waterjet cutter to make a simple sandwich mould. Wazer sponsored some of the purchase of this machine, which is perfect for this type of mould manufacture. Check out https://www.wazer.com for more details on the water jet cutter.

After selling these for a few years and learning how popular they were, we took the money we’d made and invested into a full CNC mould that could make super high quality combs in larger batches. You can buy out plastic combs from our online shop at https://www.brothersmake.com/shop. We genuinely believe these are the highest quality recycled plastic combs you can buy.
