The difference between plastic and rubber molds is very simple to understand:
•Rubber Molds start out as a LIQUID that hardens and forms to EVERY DETAIL of the stone surface.•Plastic Molds starts out as a SOLID that is heated and warped into the MUTED SHAPE of the stone surface. ...
Every injection mold has to have a gate, or an opening through which the molten plastic is injected into the cavity of the mold. The type and size of gate plays a very significant role in the process of injection molding and must not be overlooked.
