Plastic Parts
• Plastic:– Product of polymer chemistry– Synthetic material formed by chemical reaction, rather than a
substance of natural origin• Thermoplastics: Soften when heated and solid when
cooled• Thermoset plastics: Cannot be softened once cured,
neither by heat nor solvent

create a more complex molecule• Resin: Basic organic material from which plastics are
formed• Elastomer: Material with rubber-like characteristics

Plastic Processes
• Molding: Forcing molten plastic into a hollow mold• Thermoforming: Forcing a sheet of softened plastic onto
a mold using vacuum or positive pressure• Extrusion: Pumping molten plastic through a heated die• Casting: Pouring molten plastic into an open mold without
using pressure

Plastics Terminology
• Mold: Hollow form into which material is placed to give the material its final shape
• Cavity: Depression or set of matching depressions that shapes the surface of the molded object
• Parting line: Edge of the mold cavity where mold halves come together
• Draft: Slight outward taper in a mold wall designed to facilitate removal of the molded object
