Molding services create ceramic, composite, glass, rubber, plastic, silicone, or metal parts by combining solids or powders with liquids, or by pressing solid materials or powders into a die or form.
Plastic molding services use a number of different molding techniques to produce components, including thermoplastic and thermoset injection molding, blow molding (includes injection blow molding), rotational molding, thermoforming, structural foam molding, compression molding, resin transfer molding (RTM), and others.
Rapid prototyping automates the fabrication of a prototype part from a three-dimensional (3-D) CAD drawing. These physical models convey more complete information about the product earlier in the development cycle.
