Depending on the gas, the foam's density can be between 5% and 99% of the pre-processed plastic. [2] Design parameters, focused on the foam's final form and the molding process afterward, include the type of die or mold to be used, as well as the dimensions of the bubbles, or cells, that classify the material as a foam.

Cyclic microcellular foaming refers to the solid-state Microcellular plastic manufacturing technique in which the polymer is foamed sequentially. The concept was first introduced in a research article in peer-reviewed international journal, Materials Letters [ 1 ] on Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene as the base Polymer .
Direct injection expanded foam molding (also known as injection molded foam) is a manufacturing process that creates soft foam products direct from a compound into a final product. [1] This process eliminates the steps normally required for die-cutting and compression molding, because it manufactures the foam and the product, simultaneously.
Micro injection molding is a molding process for the manufacture of plastics components for shot weights of 1 to 0.1 grams with tolerances in the range of 10 to 100 microns. This molding process permits the manufacture of complicated small geometries with maximum possible accuracy and precision.
Methods include whisking-in air or other gases or low boiling volatile liquids in low viscosity lattices, or the injection of a gas into an extruder barrel or a die, or into injection molding barrels or nozzles and allowing the shear/mix action of the screw to disperse the gas uniformly to form very fine bubbles or a solution of gas in the melt.
Polyurethane chemicals are injected by a mixing head into the mold cavity. Then the mold is held at a preset reaction temperature until the chemical mixture has foamed, filled the mold, and formed a stable soft foam. The time required is two to three minutes, depending on the size of the seat and the precise formulation and operating conditions.
