A mold or mould is a hollowed-out block that is filled with a liquid or pliable material such as plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic raw material. [2] The liquid hardens or sets inside the mold, adopting its shape. A mold is a counterpart to a cast. The very common bi-valve molding process uses two molds, one for each half of the object.

Injection moulding is used to create many things such as wire spools, packaging, bottle caps, automotive parts and components, toys, pocket combs, some musical instruments (and parts of them), one-piece chairs and small tables, storage containers, mechanical parts (including gears), and most other plastic products available today.
In the two-stage injection stretch blow molding process, the plastic is first molded into a "preform" using the injection molding process. These preforms are produced with the necks of the bottles, including threads (the "finish") on one end. These preforms are packaged, and fed later (after cooling) into a reheat stretch blow molding machine.
Rotation-molded parts are subject to restrictions that are different from those of other plastic processes. As it is a low-pressure process, sometimes designers face hard-to-reach areas in the mold. Good-quality powder may help overcome some situations, but usually the designers have to keep in mind that it is not possible to make sharp threads ...
Multi-material injection molding (MMM) is the process of molding two or more different materials into one plastic part at one time. [1] As is the case in traditional injection molding, multi material injection molding uses materials that are at or near their melting point so that the semi-liquidous material can fill voids and cavities within a pre-machined mold, thus taking on the desired ...
Bed-mould or bed moulding: Narrow moulding used at the junction of a wall and ceiling, found under the cornice, of which it is a part. [2] Similar to crown moulding, a bed mould is used to cover the joint between the ceiling and wall. Bed moulds can be either sprung or plain, or flush to the wall as an extension of a cornice mould.

Molded plywood is the term for two- or three-dimensionally shaped products from multiple veneer layers that are glued together through heat and pressure in a pressing tool. The veneer layers are arranged crosswise at an angle of 90 degrees. Molded wood is used for flat furniture components such as seats, backrests and seat shells.
Transfer molding (BrE: transfer moulding) is a manufacturing process in which casting material is forced into a mold.Transfer molding is different from compression molding in that the mold is enclosed [1] rather than open to the fill plunger resulting in higher dimensional tolerances and less environmental impact.
