The Molding Process End to End: From Dried Resin to a Held Dimension

A process overview for buyers and engineers who need to have the same vocabulary as the shop. It follows material from the drying hopper through plasticising, filling, packing, cooling and ejection, and marks the point in each stage where the usual defects are actually created rather than noticed.

• Cooling and warpage, and why the measurement is taken later than people expect
• Process documentation, scientific molding and what to ask a supplier to show you
