Molding (process)

Molding (American English) or moulding (British and Commonwealth English; see spelling differences) is the process of manufacturing by shaping liquid or pliable raw material using a rigid frame called a mold or matrix. Thermoforming and Molding (process) are molding processes.

See Thermoforming and Molding (process)

Olimunllum

Olimunllum is a thermoplastic composite material containing a quasi-isotropic endless carbon fiber reinforcement and a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer matrix from the Polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family.

See Thermoforming and Olimunllum

Packaging

Packaging is the science, art and technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use.

See Thermoforming and Packaging

Plastic

Plastics are a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that use polymers as a main ingredient.

See Thermoforming and Plastic

Prototype

A prototype is an early sample, model, or release of a product built to test a concept or process.

See Thermoforming and Prototype

Retail

Retail is the sale of goods and services to consumers, in contrast to wholesaling, which is sale to business or institutional customers.

See Thermoforming and Retail

Rotational molding

Rotational molding (BrE: moulding) involves a heated mold which is filled with a charge or shot weight of the material. Thermoforming and Rotational molding are molding processes.

See Thermoforming and Rotational molding

Steel

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon with improved strength and fracture resistance compared to other forms of iron.

See Thermoforming and Steel

Thermoforming

Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mold, and trimmed to create a usable product. Thermoforming and Thermoforming are molding processes and packaging.

See Thermoforming and Thermoforming

Thermoplastic

A thermoplastic, or thermosoftening plastic, is any plastic polymer material that becomes pliable or moldable at a certain elevated temperature and solidifies upon cooling.

See Thermoforming and Thermoplastic

Titanium

Titanium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ti and atomic number 22.

See Thermoforming and Titanium

Vacuum

A vacuum (vacuums or vacua) is space devoid of matter.

See Thermoforming and Vacuum

Vacuum forming

Vacuum forming is a simplified version of thermoforming, where a sheet of plastic (in various forms HIPS (High impact polystyrene) for low impact products, or for Bathroom shower trays ABS, and exterior vehicle parts HDPE, plus various other types of vacuum formable materials) is heated to a forming temperature, stretched onto a single-surface mould, and forced against the mould by a vacuum. Thermoforming and vacuum forming are molding processes and packaging.

See Thermoforming and Vacuum forming

Windshield

The windshield (North American English) or windscreen (Commonwealth English except Canada) of an aircraft, car, bus, motorbike, truck, train, boat or streetcar is the front window, which provides visibility while protecting occupants from the elements.
