Composite and Fiberglass Molding Services

Composite and fiberglass molding services perform injection molding, blow molding, compression molding, rotational molding, thermoforming, and dip molding. Molding services create ceramic, rubber or elastomer, plastic, glass, composite, silicone, and metal parts by molding with liquid material, or by pressing solid materials or powders into a die or form. Processes employed by composite and fiberglass molding services include compression molding, compaction, ramming, hot pressing, cold pressing, injection molding, resin injection molding, transfer molding, thermoplastic molding, thermoset molding, rubber or elastomer molding and other specialty molding technologies. A composite molding service can also produce molded composite products from composites such as fiber-reinforced plastic, metal-matrix composites, and engineered wood. A fiberglass molding service produces molded fiberglass products. Blow molding forms hollow plastic parts. There are three main types of blow molding: extrusion blow molding, injection blow molding, and stretch blow molding. In compression molding, the molding material is shaped by applying pressure until the material comes into contact with all areas of the mold. Rotational molding uses heat and rotation to produce hollow, one-piece parts such as oil tanks. Thermoforming stretches a heated thermoplastic sheet or film over a mold. Dip molding immerses heated metal molds in liquid plastisol.
