Rotational molding (or “rotomolding”) is a high-temperature, low-pressure, open-molding plastic forming process that uses heat and biaxial rotation to produce hollow, one-piece parts [6]. From: Fractography in Failure Analysis of Polymers, 2015 About this pageSet alert Discover other topics ...
Beginning with an excellent section which explains this process, the basic steps in the process, and the advantages and limitations of the process, comprehensive coverage is then given to the materials, the molds, and the machinery used in blow molding. Finally, basic design guidelines are ...
Rotational Molding DesignDesigning a product for the rotomolding process requires experience and knowledge of the nuances and parameters of the manufacturing process used to produce incredibly durable hollow parts. Those familiar with the rotational molding process are usually fans of the durability of ...
Balancing these requirements is important, but rotational molding design still starts with the basic part shape. As a rule, the ideal design for a rotationally-molded part is any hollow shape where the design elements are blended smoothly. In addition to increasing product strength, the smooth ble...
ROTATIONAL molding is a method for manufacturing hollow plastic products. It is best known for the manufacture of tanks, but designers all over the world now realize that it can be used to make many different types of plastic parts. Some of the sectors that it services include: medical ...
rotational moldingdesignThis paper will cover the details of piece part design particular to the rotational molding process. Ribs, bosses, wall thicknesses, parallel walls, internal and external corners, openings, draft angles and undercuts will be discussed. Joining features, such as inserts, ...
While large-scale wind turbine blades currently reach lengths exceeding 50 m and are typically manufactured as single entities, this study focuses on the design and evaluation of a blade profile tailored specifically for small turbines. The blades were manufactured using rotational molding, employing ...

It also has some special problems which complicate the aesthetic aspects of a design. Industrial designers working with engineers are uniquely qualified to design for this process.Gene BothunDesign Verks58th annual technical conference, vol. 1: 58th annual technical conference(ANTEC 2000), May 7-...
This paper presents recent developments in the design of ethylene copolymers for rotational molding applications. The performance of ethylene copolymers is analyzed based on phenomena critical to the rotomolding process. Learnings are applied in a study that demonstrates the potential for the successful ...
