An electric utensils is now considered as one of the most important things one can have in the house. It is because right now almost all utensils uses electrical power. As an example, there is an air fryer, refrigerator, water dispenser and many more. An electric utensils mainly consist of the body, the wiring inside the body and the plug. Plug is the important part of the electric utensils as it becomes the connector for the electric current to flow through to the electric utensils for the utensils to work. Currently, the plug is being mass produce all over the world at multiple factory across the country of the world. It being produce by using the bigger thermoforming plastic machine so that the plug can be produce many more to be used and sell. The machine work by heating the plastic into the mold that was made. There are 2 types of mold that is known which is inside and outside mold. The inside mold work by blow the heat into the mold and push it into the mold and the outside mold work by heating the plastic and fold in onto the mold. The research that is being work is to try and produce the same machine but in a much smaller scale as it can help for self work engineer or maybe someone who want to made a wire plug connection to sell or maybe to be used in the small machine. That being said, the process of making the plug is time consuming and it’s hard to made one without any help of a machine. The new concept of my propose product is going to make the production of the plug much easier and faster
