Abstract

This paper presents a novel technology to produce plastic parts called "Stages Moulding". The patented technology allows producing plastic parts with complex shapes, from a wide variety of polymers, with excellent surface quality, reduced thermal and mechanical stresses and the possibility to produce parts with reduced weights among other interesting advantages. Moreover, this novel process uses much cheaper moulds and machinery than those used in injection moulding. The specific characteristics previously mentioned make this technology very promising for the production of moulded' plastic parts. The paper summarises the main characteristics of this technology presenting some real examples of parts produced.
