By definition, rotational molding is a manufacturing process using a hollow mold that is filled with material and then slowly rotated, resulting in the material dispersing and clinging to the walls of the mold. Continuous rotating during both the heating and cooling process allows the mold to maintain its shape, and after this process is complete, the material is extracted from the mold for assembly.
The history of this process used in the United States goes back to the early 1950s for the production of toy doll heads. The original machine used comprised of an E Blue box-oven machine based on a General Motors’ rear axle.
