Rotational Molding
overall review score: 4.5
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
Rotational molding, also known as rotomolding, is a manufacturing process that involves heating a hollow mold filled with material, such as plastic resin, and rotating it biaxially to evenly coat the interior walls of the mold. Once the material has cooled and solidified, the mold is removed to reveal a seamless, hollow product.
