- Molding or moulding (see spelling differences) is the process of manufacturing by shaping liquid or pliable raw material using a rigid frame called a mold or matrix.[1] This itself may have been made using a pattern or model of the final object.
A mold or mould is a hollowed-out block that is filled with a liquid or pliable material such as plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic raw material.[2] The liquid hardens or sets inside the mold, adopting its shape. A mold is the counterpart to a cast. The very common bi-valve molding process uses two molds, one for each half of the object. Articulated molds have multiple pieces that come together to form the complete mold, and then disassemble to release the finished casting; they are expensive, but necessary when the casting shape has complex overhangs.[3][better source needed] Piece-molding uses a number of different molds, each creating a section of a complicated object. This is generally only used for larger and more valuable objects.
A manufacturer who makes molds is called a moldmaker. A release agent is typically used to make removal of the hardened/set substance from the mold more easily effected. Typical uses for molded plastics include molded furniture, molded household goods, molded cases, and structural materials.
Types
There are several types of molding methods.[4] These include:
Casting, the oldest term, covering a wide range of materials, especially metals
Blow molding
Powder metallurgy plus sintering
Compression molding
Extrusion molding
Injection molding
Laminating
Reaction injection molding
Matrix molding
Rotational molding (or Rotomolding)
Spin casting
Transfer molding
Thermoforming
Vacuum forming, a simplified version of thermoforming
FRP moulding
Hand lay up moulding
Resin transfer moulding
Vacuum bag moulding
Bladder moulding
Spray up molding
Reaction injection molding
Thanks !
Nice explains sir ...more video upload casting and fabrication related
