Key Terms

compression molding technical

Compression molding is a manufacturing process that shapes raw plastic or rubber by placing material into a heated mold and pressing it closed so the material flows and cures into the final part—like pressing cookie dough into a shaped pan. Investors care because the method influences production speed, unit cost, product consistency and equipment spending, all of which affect a maker’s margins, capacity and supply-chain risk.
