A plastic mold is a device used to shape materials such as thermoplastics, thermosets and elastomers by applying heat and pressure. It consists of two main parts: the mold itself, which is made from steel or aluminum and has cavities that hold the material; and the clamping mechanism that applies pressure on the mold to ensure a uniform shape. The process of creating a plastic part using a mold is called injection molding.
