Compression molding machine (2 products)

Pressure molding is a process that uses air pressure on a heated plastic sheet to create molds or parts. It can create parts or tools with high detail and texture.
First, the plastic sheet is inserted into the compression molding machine, positioned above the mold. Heating is then applied from above. Once the appropriate temperature is reached, pressurized air pushes the plastic sheet onto the mold. Ventilation vents expel any incoming air. Once fully cooled and hardened, the plastic sheet is removed from the mold, producing a plastic shell that can be modified and adjusted to specific specifications.
