Cold molding
Cold molding is a manufacturing process where thermoplastic materials are shaped into desired forms without applying heat. Instead, the plastic is cooled and hardened in a mold under pressure, allowing it to conform precisely to the mold's shape. This method is often used for producing detailed or complex components with good dimensional stability. Since it doesn't involve heating, cold molding typically consumes less energy and can be more cost-effective than hot molding. It's commonly used in industries like automotive, electronics, and consumer products to create durable, accurately shaped parts efficiently.
