TRANSFER MOLDING

A method of molding that typically requires placing a preheated preform of material into the mold “pot” before a plunger applies pressure to the material, forcing the material through a runner and gate and into the mold cavity. Thermoset transfer molding is typically considered more precise and creates less flash than compression molding. This type of molding is great for insert-molding since the molding machine clamp opens and closes vertically and the retention of the insert is more easily attained through a closed mold.
