I am writing a report on the mojr costs associated with injection moulding and with transfer moulding. I need to provide a comparison of these and suggest a strategy for selecting which process to adopt. I also require an example too<br>

There are major differences in transfer and injection molding. Suggest the &quot;Plastics Mold Engineering Handbook&quot; by DuBois & Pribble. See other books available from the Society of Plastics Engineers library, <A HREF="

Transfer molding is associated with compression, with the part curing in the mold. Long slow cycles, limited material selection. Generally used only where a thermoset material is required.<br>
