|
Vacuum forming |
- sheet material can be used -low tooling cost -economies of scale -repeatability -appropriate for materials -patterns/textures transferred from mould |
Plastic |
|
|
Die casting |
- Accuracy of component - complexity of component -high quality finish -fine detail |
Metal |
|
|
Rotational Moulding |
- closed hollow form - relatively low tooling costs - No weak areas due to consistent wall thickness -good quality exterior finish/texture -large products made cheap -one piece construction - can have thicker walls where extra strength is needed - suitable for batch production - repeatability -measured amount of materials, less wastage |
Plastic |
|
|
Injection moulding |
- fast production rates -material flexibility -interchangeable moulds -large volume production -accuracy -repeatability -no further finishing -low waste -semi-skilled workforce -reduced labour costs |
Plastic |
|
|
Piercing blanking and pressing |
-material in thin sections -material suited to process (malleable/ductile) -accuracy of sizes -Repeatability -consistency in quality -no further finishing |
Metal |
|
|
Compression moulding |
-Economies of scale -components are suitable for the process -suitable for thermosetting plastics - little or no wasted material -very accurate, little shrinkage -suitable for moulding complex shapes - one piece production - relatively low cost product methods -quality surface finish/detail - repeatability |
Plastic |
|
|
Sand Casting |
-suitability of material -form of product -moulds/patterns are cheaper than die cast moulds -low set up costs - bespoke designs -bespoke production process - produces substantial product |
Metal |
|
|
Drop forging |
-faster process -greater accuracy -greater repeatability -greater strength in product -less waste due to measured billet - improved finish |
Metal |
|
|
Extrusion |
-uniform cross section -suitability of material -length of product -accuracy -repeatability |
