DEFINITION
(mold cavity), and then cooled in the mold till it again reaches a solid state,
conforming in shape to the mold cavity.
HISTORY
John Hyatt patented the first injection molder in 1872. . In 1951, William H. Willert
invented the first molder machine to use a screw to provide continuous feed of liquid
material.
From the 1980s on, the most significant
developments in injection molding have been
in the area of computerization of the process.

It is used in automotive industry
It is used in aero space industry
Advantages
Injection molding is the
range of materials
Little need to finish parts
after molding
Disadvantages
High initial setup costs
High initial cost-mold,
Injection
machine, Auxiliary
equipment
High amount of scrap
DEFINITION
Rotational molding, also
known as rotomolding, is a
molding process for creating
many kinds of mostly hollow
items, typically of plastic.
Process description
Rotational molding is a 4 stage
with
Reflective sleeve for night
visibility.
Rotational molding of plaster is
used to produce hollow
statuettes.
Chocolate is rotationally
molded to form hollow treats
Industrial products like Tanks,
containers, housing
Consumer products like Desks,
beds, dog house
Footballs, helmets.
Recreational products like Toys,
pools, balls
Agricultural products like
Troughs, tractor cabs
Advantages
Disadvantages
outside surface-hollow
mold
Mold is heated and cooled
as well as plastic
Long cycle times and high
heat
Maintaining precise
dimensions is difficult

Disadvantages of blow
molding include:
limited to hollow parts
wall thickness is hard to
control.
DEFINITION
The process of molding a
material in a confined shape
by applying pressure and
