How does rotomolding compare with injection
molding and blow molding?
In comparison to injection and blow molding, rotational
molding can easily produce both large, small precision
and non-precision parts in a cost effective manner from
a tiny medical bulb to a 16 foot kayak and up. Tooling
for rotomolding is less expensive than injection molding
because the process does not require any pressure to be
held and rotomolding tooling is far less expensive than
blow molding because there's no internal core to
manufacture. Since there is no internal core, minor
changes can be easily made to an existing mold,
enabling product enhancements and line extensions to
be considerably less expensive to develop and faster to
bring to market.
In addition, Rotomolded parts are formed with heat and
rotation, but not with pressure. Therefore, molds don't
need to withstand the high pressure of injection molding.
