The increasingly sophisticated technologies of modern mold design and manufacturing belie the suggestion that it is a tedious stuffy industry. In reality mouldmaking is immersed in computerization, materials development for improved thermal conductivity and wear, and new standards of meteorology. The need for process-specific tooling and constant competitive pressures add to escalating customer demands. And its effective response to there demands places mouldmaking totally in the mainstream of the plastics industry＇s global dynamics.
