To determine

The reasons why plastic shaping processes are important.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Plastic shaping processes include properties of polymer melts, injection molding, compression etc. The major importance is that unlimited types of part geometries are possible. Moreover, the molding is the net shape process. No further shaping is required.

Minimum energy is required required to process plastics than metals due to much lower processing temperatures. As a result of lower temperature, handling of the product is easier. Paiting and finishing processes like plating is not required.
