Ankle Support mold
Ankle Support mold
(OP)
Hello all,
I am trying to find the best way to mold an ankel support into its desired shape - I need to know what type of molding process is desired for this type of shape?
The shape is about 50-70cm wide by about 100-150 cm long, 5mm thick and is concave in shape (not sure about the radius of curve).
Thanks a lot,
-LTOP

Actually I am writing report on the design of an ankle support using a thermoplastic composite. As far as the competition is concerned some use PVC because of it's strenght and flexibility.
Do you still think thermoforming or injection molding is the best bet?
Thanks,
