The Making of the Pip-Boy: Six Tons of Tooling
Jun 14, 24
It takes many 100s of components to make a Pip-Boy, but only 39 of them are needed to make its physical structure and these are molded in the main factory responsible for manufacturing the iconic Pip-Boy. Some of these parts are molded in what are called ‘family tools’. A family tool is similar to a regular tool, except more than one part is made at the same time during each molding cycle, then the parts are neatly separated when they come out of the mold.
