Rotational Moulding

Rotational molding,

also known as rotomolding, is a molding process for creating many kinds of mostly hollow items, typically of plastic.

1   A heated hollow mold is filled with a charge or shot weight of material

2   It is then slowly rotated (usually around two perpendicular axes) causing the softened material to disperse and stick to the walls of the mold. In order to maintain   even thickness throughout the part, the mold continues to rotate at all times during the heating phase and to avoid sagging or deformation also

3   during the cooling phase.

4   The finished item is then ejected from the mould
