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. A mold is the counterpart to a cast. The manufacturer who makes the molds is called the moldmaker. A release agent is typically used to make removal of the hardened/set substance from the mold easier. Typical uses for molded plastics include molded furniture, molded household goods, molded cases, and structural materials. Types of molding include: ⁕Blow molding ⁕Compaction plus sintering ⁕Compression molding ⁕Expandable bead molding ⁕Extrusion molding ⁕Foam molding ⁕Injection molding ⁕Laminating ⁕Reaction injection molding ⁕Matched mold ⁕Matrix molding ⁕Plastic moulding ⁕Pressure plug assist molding ⁕Rotational molding ⁕Transfer molding ⁕Thermoforming ⁕Vacuum forming, a simplified version of thermoforming ⁕Vacuum plug assist molding ⁕Injection molding die with side pulls ⁕ "A" side of die for 25% glass-filled acetal with 2 side pulls
