Compression molding machine | What is compression molding？

Compression molding is a molding process in which a plastic material is placed directly into a heated metal mold and then softened by the action of heat, forcing it to conform to the shape of the mold when the mold is closed. After the molding is complete, excess flashes can be removed.

Advantages of compression molding It's a much simpler process. It involves lower tool costs. It is ideal for the production of large items and thicker parts. It can be a good choice for insert molding and multicolor molding. It is cost-effective for short-term production runs. It has a higher post-molding cost opportunity

The cost of a compression mold will vary depending on a number of factors, including the size and complexity of the mold, the materials used to construct the mold, and the manufacturing process used to produce the mold.
