The History of Plastic Molding
Plastic molding began in the late 1800’s to fill the need for plastic billiard balls as opposed to the commonly used ivory billiard balls of the time.
In 1868, John W. Hyatt patented a process that produced a product he called celluloid, which he used as a replacement for ivory in billiard balls. Four years later, Hyatt and his brother invented and patented a machine to automate the process.
In 1946, the screw injection molding machine was invented by James Hendry, which replaced the plunger injection technique. This is the technique most commonly used today.
In recent history, process improvements, better equipment, and plastic powder developments have sped up the process of creating finished products which has caused rotational molding to grow rapidly in popularity.
