Compression molding is a manufacturing process that involves placing a pre-measured quantity of material (usually a polymer, rubber, or composite) into a heated mold cavity. The material is then compressed under high pressure, causing it to flow and conform to the shape of the mold. Once the material solidifies, the part is ejected from the mold.
This method is particularly effective for creating complex, durable parts with consistent quality. Compression molding is known for its ability to handle high-strength materials, making it ideal for demanding applications in industries like electrical, automotive, and consumer products.
