Compression molding uses heated metal tooling in high pressure presses to produce more complex, high volume parts with fast cycle times. Compression molding is a high volume molding method that yields fast cycle times, high part uniformity, and allows for metal inserts, ribs and bosses to be molded in the part. There are several materials used in the compression molding processes including, sheet molding using heated hydraulic press. Under the pressure and temperature of the tool set the material cures rapidly. Subsequent machining and finishing operations are minimal in compression molding so labor costs are reduced.
