    Compression molding processes

    In a compression molding process, an initial charge of material is introduced into the open cavity, and then the cavity is compressed to complete filling and packing. The primary advantage of these processes is the ability to produce dimensionally stable, relatively stress-free parts, at a low clamp force.
