Pros and Cons of Compression Molding

There are many reasons why you should use compression molding.

First of all, the process it follows makes it easier to apply color changeovers. It can also preserve the materials’ mechanical or chemical properties.

This method is also cost-efficient. The simple process allows it to create inexpensive plastic components with ease and high efficiency. This also allows it to develop products regardless of length, thickness, and design complexities.

Since the process also requires the use of material that exhibits a high level of strength, the final product has the same durability and resiliency.

Of course, this molding method isn’t perfect. There are drawbacks to using it. One of them is it’s not ideal for large productions. The final product may be less consistent – if the pressure on the mold varies even slightly.
