What is a mold?

Molding or molding manufacturing process to form a liquid or soft raw material using a rigid frame called a mold or matrix. This in itself may already use a pattern or the final object of the model.

The mold or mold is a hollow block filled with liquid or soft materials such as plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic raw materials. The liquid in the mold hardens or collects and adopts its shape. A mold is a peer. A very common bi-valve molding process uses two molds, one for each half of the object. Piece-molding uses many different molds, each creating a complex object of a part. This is usually only used for larger and more valuable objects.

The maker of the mold is called a mold-maker. Agents are usually used to make the removal of hardening/setting substances from the mold easier. Typical uses of molded plastics include molding furniture, molding household items, molded cases, and structural materials.

The types of molds include:

1, blow molding

2, powder metallurgy + sintering

3, compression molding

4, extrusion molding

5, injection molding

6, lamination reaction injection molding

7, matrix molding

8, rotational molding (or rotational molding)

9, automatic Spin casting

10, transfer molding method

11, thermoforming vacuum forming, a simplified version of thermoforming
