Plastic forming process where a polymer melt is fed into a separated mold and then pressed to the final detail. Beskrivning The process A polymer melt [1] is input in a partially separated mold [2] which is then pressed together so that the melt is pressed in all areas of the mold. After the melt has solidified completely the mold halves are separated and the part is pushed out by ejector [3]. Injection compression molding Process films Advantages and disadvantages In comparison with alternative methods Can produce products with few stresses, can produce products with thick walls Increased accuracy of dimensions Detailed process knowledge necessary Extra costs for the machine Extra costs for the mold Complicated to monitor the process
