The transfer molding process beginning with the uncured rubber placed in a transfer plate located above the cavity area, rather than being placed directly in the cavity as in compression molding applications. heat is then applied to the rubber and transferred from the transfer plat, being pushed through a gate by a piston, into the cavity where the rubber is then vulcanized using heat and pressure.

Compression molding involves placing a preheated material into an open mold cavity and then closing the mold to apply pressure and heat. Transfer molding involves placing a preheated material into a chamber or pot in a heated mold, then using a plunger to transfer the material into the mold cavity. Transfer molding is often used for more complex parts with intricate details.
The architectural term you are referring to is an "ogee." It describes a type of molding that has a profile featuring a concave curve flowing into a convex curve.
The architectural term you are looking for is "ovolo." An ovolo is a classical molding profile that features a convex curve on the top and a concave one on the bottom. It is commonly used to soften the sharp edges of a door or window frame.
Plastic can be shaped through various processes like injection molding, blow molding, thermoforming, and extrusion. These processes involve heating the plastic material until it becomes molten, then forcing it into a specific mold or shape, and allowing it to cool and solidify into the desired form.
There are several techniques for shaping and molding heated clay into pottery. Some common methods include hand-building, wheel-throwing, and slip-casting. Hand-building involves shaping the clay by hand, while wheel-throwing uses a pottery wheel to spin and shape the clay. Slip-casting involves pouring liquid clay into a mold to create the desired shape. Each technique requires skill and practice to master.
Yes, casting can refer to physically changing the shape or form of a material through a molding process. This technique involves pouring a liquid material into a mold that then hardens into a specific shape.
