What are the types of plastic molds?

There are many kinds of plastic molds. Here are some common types of plastic molds:

Injection mold: Used in injection molding process, melting plastic material is injected into the mold cavity, through cooling and curing to obtain the desired product.

Blow mold: Used in blow molding process, the heat-softened plastic material is blown to form a cavity, and the hollow object is obtained after cooling, such as plastic bottles, containers, etc.

Extrusion mold: used for extrusion molding process, the melted plastic material extrusion mold to form a continuous cross-section shape, such as pipes, plates, etc.

Die casting mold: Used in die casting molding process, molten metal is injected into the mold cavity, and parts are formed by applying high pressure to quickly solidify.

Foam mold: used in the foam molding process, the foaming agent is mixed and injected into the mold, the expansion occurs under the action of heat, and the foam product is obtained after cooling.

Rotary mold: Used in rotary molding process, plastic powder or liquid material is placed into the mold, and then the material is evenly distributed and cured by rotating the mold.

In addition, there are some special plastic molds, such as thermoforming molds, vacuum blister molds, bellows molds, etc., which are widely used in specific production processes and product needs. Different types of plastic molds are suitable for different manufacturing processes and product types to meet the needs of various industries.
