1. Injection Molds:
▪Description: These molds are used in injection molding processes, where molten material is injected into a mold cavity under high pressure.
▪Applications: Common for producing high-precision plastic parts such as dashboards, bumpers, and interior components.
▪Types:
Single Cavity Molds: Produce one part per cycle.
Multi-Cavity Molds: Produce multiple parts per cycle to increase production efficiency.
Family Molds: Produce different parts in the same cycle, suitable for producing multiple components of a product simultaneously.
2.Blow Molds:
▪Description: Used for creating hollow plastic parts by blowing air into a heated tube of plastic.
▪Applications: Typically used for making large, hollow components like fuel tanks or air ducts.
3.Compression Molds:
▪Description: These molds are used for compression molding, where preheated material is placed in a mold cavity and then compressed by closing the mold.
▪Applications: Often used for producing rubber or composite parts, such as gaskets and seals.
4.Rotational Molds:
▪Description: Used in rotational molding, where a mold is rotated around multiple axes while heated plastic is added, allowing the material to coat the interior surface of the mold.
▪Applications: Suitable for large, hollow parts like bumpers and certain types of plastic casings.
5.Die Casting Molds:
▪Description: Used in die casting, where molten metal is injected into a mold cavity under high pressure.
▪Applications: Common for producing metal components such as engine parts and transmission housings.
6. Extrusion Molds:
▪Description: Used for extrusion molding, where material is forced through a die to create long, continuous shapes.
▪Applications: Often used for creating profiles or tubes that are then cut to length, such as trim pieces or weather stripping.
