How a Disc Golf Disc is made

- Hey guys! 😀
I had a lot of fun making this video!!! Hope you like it.
Here´s how a disc is made in text form.
Its starts with the plastic being carefully measured and mixed. For a consistent result the blend is then dried for up to 3 hours in a cylinder. After the drying process comes the colour blend. The plastic blend and the colouring then drops down into a injection cylinder. Pressure is set to match the specific mold and plastic - meaning how much force will be pushed into the disc mold. Enough force to fill the mold without spillage. When the set pressure is reached the mold then gets cooled down enough for the robot to extract the disc.
Excess plastic from the injection hole is then removed by clippers. The disc is then placed on an ventilated surface. At this stage the plastic contracts and the disc gets it final shape, with the dome etc. When the cooling process is done plastic is being removed from the edges of the disc. The disc is places on a scale to checks if the weight is correct and doesnt go above or below the approved weight span. Every disc most then pass the quality control. Made by hand.
Graphics
The matching stamp for a specific disc is placed on the top side of the hot stamp machine. And with the disc being centered foil is pressed down for .8 seconds. And with the hot plate on top the stamp sticks onto the disc.
That is how we make a disc and I´m really hoping you enjoy this video :)

Roses are red, the sky is blue, here are some very nice stuff for you ❤ /Jonathan

Latitude 64, your hiring of Jonathan for Video Production was a fantastic decision! Great job.
Worth every penny
Confirmed by a large ad agency creative director.
You guuuuys.I'm blushing over here.Thank you!!
@@Latitude64 will you be traveling to GBO 2021 or the DD open in Emporia, KS?
@@BenjaminMedlock This I don´t know. Maybe if we´re allowed to travel. :)
Great! Now I need an injection moulding machine for my disc golf collection to be complete.
I have 3 already but I'm looking to get a couple extra just so I can have them in various stages of wear
@@Meta-Drew 😂😂
This setup is not actually on the high end. If you wanted the mold machine and not all the trimmer bots and shuttle stuff. At a guess it would be around 30,000 usd. You would have to do a little more trimming and the dyes would be pricey. Unless you have your own 5 axis. You would need to source the mixture. That would be pricey as well. But doable. Dont copy anything direct unless you want a copyright infringement. Ahh yes that would be living the dream.
@@codymoreland4496 What experience do you have in pricing injection molds? I work in a bucket factory, and the injection mold machines ran about $600,000-900,000 each. Obviously a disc can be made in a much smaller machine, but I don't see it happening for less than $100,000-200,000. Adding in the other robotics, probably double that.
@@outercityboy3632 A 200 ton press is probably sufficient for molding discs. You are correct about the price of 100,000-200,000 but only if it's brand new. You could most definitely grab a 20 year old 200 ton for 30,000-40,000.
Jonathan gotta be one of the best investments Latitude has done
Best. Comment. Ever! Thank you :) /Jonathan
Been dying to see some footage of disc manufacturing, thank you!
You are welcome, sir! /Jonathan
I am a cnc machinist and I used to work for a company that made injection molding tooling. We made the injection screws and barrels. It was very intricate and rewarding work. I have often dreamed about making discs and how cool it would be to work for a disc golf manufacturer.
I wasn't ready for such a precise molding cycle. I studied a bit about plastic molding and watching this video was so interesting. 😮
I didn’t know its that complicated🤯 im never complaining about the price again
Royal box - ordered
New Latitude video - watched
Hotel? - Trivago
Hahaha. Got me there! 😅😅
This is somethin unseen before! Thanks for the video! You have a nice factoryline 👍🏻
You are welcome my friend :) /Jonathan
This is easily one of my favorite disc golf videos, used to love watching how its made.
Glad you liked it :) /Jonathan
When i die, i need my coffin to be made of opto plastic
I'd aim for minimal Turn, if I were you...
I'd insist on Gold Line, because Burst....
Gold line burst
Love it. Consistency and "seasoning" discs is my biggest gripe with disc golf. It may seem cool to find that 1 off extra stable disc or to have 3 of the same disc that all fly different. But I want to be able to order a disc and know what I'm getting. Pretty much Discraft and Lat 64 for me... But Lat 64 is winning me over more and more.
It can be a gripe, but it can also be a beautiful thing. Like having that Buzzz or Compass that you have seasoned and you know EXACTLY how they fly. Whenever I buy a disc I also look carefully at the dome and wing shape. Also, if you have a legit shop near you, ask the guys/gals how the recent "runs" they have been receiving are. More domey, grippy, OS etc. Just my 2c
@@3chrizzl thanks for the tips. I was wondering why people would look for specific runs (thinking it was just the collectors). I have been diving head first just this fall/winter since throwing here and there for 20 years with equally as old Innova DX discs.
Awesome! Would love a follow-up on the design process.
Yes. That will be done as well. :) dont know when but it will. Glad you liked the video. /Jonathan
I am just fascinated by this process
Linda. What a legend. Next round I play is going to be dedicated to "Linda."
Been a player and discing since 77.. awesome to see how it's made. Good vid. Thanks guys!
Glad you liked it! :)
Awesome! As I’ve gotten more into DG and why molds and discs are so different I’ve wanted to know more about how they’re made. Now I know! Thanks for putting this video together.
I´m glad you liked it, Bernard. I will be making more of this sort of videos. Maybe more into parts of the process. More information dense. Don´t know when though. /Jonathan
I’ve always wondered what the machines look like. Thank you for posting!!
Just starting DG again after a while. When I first started I was all about innova's due to the easy to understand system. Your youtube channel will have me lookin towards latitudes whenever I need to replace a disc.
loved getting this sneak peak into the process! thanks so much!
Wow....I envisioned an artist sculpturing each disc from a much larger single block of plastic......each one pain stakengly crafted to achieve the desired aerodynamic winged saucer.....
. thanks for the heads up...
I was searching for this yearsssss ago! Finally
I´m glad you found it :) /Jonathan
So glad to see this video as I was just wondering about this. Also the unexpected teaser at the end...😯
Glad you liked it :)
Interesting to see the manufacturing process. Looking forward to getting the Royal box, luckily it doesn't have to travel so far
I volunteer for field testing.
Dream job!
I just received my first Latitude 64 discs, a Diamond and Fuse. Both in Opto plastic. Oh my, this plastic feels so tasty!! Can’t wait to try them out!!
Let me know what you think :) /jonathan
What a tease!!!!! Love it. Can't wait to get that box with those new prototypes that you so conveniently did not describe... You're killing us!
Now i'm curios to see how Innova makes their discs... This looks impressive!
That was really cool, thanks for showing us some of the manufacturing process!
You´re welcome. Im glad you liked it :) /Jonathan
That was a great teaser/trailer for the real episode.
Will do a longer version in the future. And maybe break it down do individual parts. /Jonathan
Best tutorials and best discs. Thanks you!
Those Royal discs look nice.. Looking forward to try them out sometime!
Thanks for sharing some "industrial secrets".
After watching this vid and seeing the stamping process, my question is how do double stamps happen so often? Seems like they should be almost nonexistent, unless they are done deliberately as a way to flag a disc as a factory 2nd.
SO hyped for my box! sold out in under a day you guys are the best!
Awesome. Thank you so much for sharing this. Have you made any videos on how the mold is produced? I would love to see that.
Super cool to see, thanks!
Awesome job! Would be great to see a video on disc design. Obviously don't show the company's IP but just some simulations on how the process works.
Yes I will be making a video about that for sure 😀. Don´t know when but it´s on the to-do-list. /Jonathan
Thank you! Great video! Love the sport!
Excellent video thank you! Great technology that should make your discs very consistent.
like that you guys kept the vid short and sweet, no fluff
Thank you. Always enjoy feedback on the editing :) /Jonathan
Jonathan is killin it
Well thank you, sir! :)
And then it gets lost in a tree on the third hole because I'm a novice and will already have the replacement on order. 😏👍✅
Very cool, thanks for making this video
I work in rotational molding, have delt with our process for 16 years now. It is all manual work for us. I would love to get into this process it is interesting.
Super cool!!
This is awesome! Discs need to be on How it's Made! I'd like to visit a factory
wow awesome video. i don't throw a lot of latitude 64, but I always keep an Explorer with me
Thank you :) /Jonathan
Thanks, always nice to see inside the process, and to get a glimpse at those upcoming photos. Looks like some low temp (here) testing in the future. Cheers!
You´re welcome for the idea :)
And a REALLY GREAT video, thanks for that!
Cheers, Tommy!
Very cool video. Id love to tour the facility one day.
Thank you :) /Jonathan
Thanks for this video. I've always wondered how this was done. 👍
Glad you liked it, Joseph :) /Jonathan
great production. Glad L64 brought you on.
Thank you, Jeremiah :) /Jonathan
That was friggin' AWESOME!
Cheers :) /Jonathan
Awesome! And what a tease at the end...
Epic video, great to see how this is done!!!!
Literally week ago I was searching this kind of video but didnt found, so thank you for this!:)
@Johnathan, your videos are great! I'm glad to subscribe and watch your content. This weekend, I even purchased a few Latitude 64 discs to add to my bag, Pioneer, Explorer, River!
Thank you very much. This made me happy :). Really? Let me know what you think. /Jonathan
@@Latitude64 I used the Emerson Keith Pioneer, Grip Line Explorer, and Opto River during the Shongum Showdown 2 tournament, Gardiner, NY, this weekend and came in second place, MA3!
They are all a perfect addition to my bag. I’ll need to practice more with the River to take advantage of the tremendous glide. As for the the Explorer, it’s more stable than I am used to but I really like the pin-straight flight. The Pioneer fit in my bag perfectly!
@@ikigaiWellnessLLC Congratulations! Thats great
Loving my royal grace
Awesome!!! So excited for my Royal Box
Lol this is just what i was thinking about in school 8 hours ago and now the video comes for it
I've got to say, after only recently finding your channel the work you're doing here makes me want to get some Latitude 64 discs after sticking with 2 other main brands for the most part. Showing some character and tips etc is a nice touch for building a relationship with us (the customers). Keep up the great work. I'm loving these videos and the lesson videos.
By the way, if you ever need a designer for some stamps, I'm in haha.
Hey :). That's very nice of you, thank you! /Jonathan
Haha might pick you up in that one day! :)
Great video!
I did enjoy 💕 thank you
I´m glad, James :) /Jonathan
Thank you for making this video!!!
You´re welcome. glad you enjoyed it :) /Jonathan
Loved it! Thanks
Great video. Just watched Emerson Kieth at Belton, Texas tournament. He represented Lat 64 very well. Wish I knew what discs he was throwing.
Keep up the good work.
We have a "in the bag" video från 2019 if you´re interested :)
th-cam.com/video/cfHx3uEpk04/w-d-xo.html
Excellent content.
Thank you :) /Jonathan
Great! I would love to see how the mold tool is designed and made.
They could show you but then you'd never be able to leave the machine shop... if you know what I mean.... ;^]
😂
So cool! Also can’t wait to finally learn about the royal discs 😁
I enjoyed it
That´s great, John
lot of companies very secretive nice to get to see how the sausage is made
I can generally resist the temptation to order mystery boxes. Not sure I'm going to be able to hold off on this one though.
Interesting.
Thanks Jonathon. Your videos have been pretty sweet. Keep it up, and keep them coming.
Cheers, Matt!
Linda is the goat
Way cool
Very cool! Always wondered how that was done.
Fantastic video.
Tell that machine to pump out more Opto Bolts and Opto X Saint Pros.
They seem to be impossible to come by these days. I lost several of each this past year.
Any. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.
I let the machine know :) Glad you liked the video.
Thanks for video!!
WE STAN LINDA
Super cool! Thank you.
Thank you, Austin :)
Awesome now make more bolts... I want a bolt but you can't find them anywhere
Your hope is fully realized. Thank you.
So cooL!!!
Glad you liked it :) /Jonathan
So to get a custom stamp you would "only" have to have get a hotstamp? (In theory) that's neat!
super cool!
Very cool!
this is more high tech than I thought. I thought you would just order your plates for injection molding and you'd be off and running.
Sweet video. The Making of the Mold next please?
Thank you. Maaaaaybe. I´ll put it on the list 😀
Awesome vid thanks!
Pretty sweet
That was fascinating!
So cool!!!
Very intriguing
Awesome video! Less foil stamping would be cool though. It scratches off so easily and is such a waste of material. Love my Judge Classic Bee!
I did enjoy it. Thanks:) Cheers, D.
Glad you liked it! /Jonathan
Absolutely love this! Thanks for the detailed video! Our crew would love to get our hands on a Royal mystery box if you are looking for some testers on video!
100 bones and it can be at your door by next Thursday
@@buzzlightyear3849 yyyeaahhh apparently they sold out
Speaking of molds.. The only thing I really miss from Lat64 is a medium flippy Midrange, like
5 4 -2 0, or something.
IMO the Fuse does the job
@@henrikfelter1143 I love my warrant 😊
Looks like a stable to under stable 11 speed. Something I’ve been wanting to try since I saw my buddy bomb his discraft Hades.
Thanks latitude 64
