How to mold plastic to fit your exact needs

So, how do we really shape plastic? It begins with a special type of plastic known as thermoplastic. It is a significant material as it alters its behaviour when exposed to heat. Thermoplastic becomes soft and pliable when heated, similar to playdough! When the plastic gets hot enough, it can be pressed into a mold, which is a special container that shapes the plastic into the desired form. The plastic then cools down, returns to a solid and retains the new shape. This is how companies produce things like toy cars, pots and pans, or personalized insoles for your shoes that feel just right.
