RE: please help: major cost differences in transfer & injection moulding??

There are major differences in transfer and injection molding. Suggest the "Plastics Mold Engineering Handbook" by DuBois & Pribble. See other books available from the Society of Plastics Engineers library, www.4spe.org

Transfer molding is associated with compression, with the part curing in the mold. Long slow cycles, limited material selection. Generally used only where a thermoset material is required.
