Moulding of polymers is the process of shaping polymer materials into desired forms. 

Here are some types of molding processes:
Injection molding: Compressing polymer granules with a ram or screw
Heating them until they melt: Squirting them into a cold, split mold under pressure
Cooling below a specific temperature: Opening the mold and ejecting the product
Compression molding: A process in which a molding polymer is squeezed into a preheated mold
Reaction injection molding (RIM): A process that uses thermosetting polymers to produce strong, lightweight, and flexible parts

Melt molding: Heating polymers above their melting point so they can assume a liquid form
Allowing the resulting polymer to cool and solidify in the form of the mold

Transfer molding: A process that involves loading the material into a chamber prior to being forced into the mold
