Claim 0:
1. A molding machine teaching aid adapted to be placed on a desktop comprising:
a frame unit including a main frame body, a first side wall that is perpendicularly connected to said main frame body, a second side wall that is perpendicularly connected to said main frame body and spaced apart from said first side wall in a clamping direction, and a plurality of slide rods, each of which extends along the clamping direction and has two ends secured respectively to said first and second side walls;
a molding unit including a fixed die holder that is penetrated by said slide rods and that is fixed to said frame unit, a movable die holder that is penetrated by said slide rods and that faces said fixed die holder in the clamping direction, and two die kernels that are respectively and detachably disposed on said fixed die holder and said movable die holder, said die kernels cooperatively defining a die cavity after being closed;
a material supply unit including an extruder that is disposed on said frame unit, and a heating module that is connected to said extruder for heating at least one wire material into a molten material, said extruder transporting the molten material into said die cavity;
a drive unit controllable to drive movement of said movable die holder relative to said frame unit in the clamping direction to make said die kernels close to each other to be closed or moved away from each other; and
a monitoring unit adapted for a user to operate to control said extruder, said heating module, and said drive unit;
wherein said first side wall and said second side wall of said frame unit are respectively proximate to said fixed die holder and said movable die holder, said frame unit further including a carrier plate that is fixed on said slide rods and located between said fixed die holder and said first side wall in the clamping direction, and a support arm that extends in the clamping direction and through said carrier plate, said support arm having two ends that are respectively connected to said first side wall and said fixed die holder.
