  1. Molding

    Molding or moulding is the process of manufacturing by shaping pliable raw material using a rigid frame or model called a pattern. A mold or mould is a hollowed-out block that is filled with a liquid like plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic raw materials. The liquid hardens or sets inside the mold, adopting its shape.
