A MOLDING STRUCTURE AND A METHOD OF MOLDING

摘要

Disclosed is a molding structure, and a method of molding molded articles, amongst other things. The molding structure, comprises structure and steps of providing a modular molding system (10) having an initial-build configuration for producing a molded article of a first molding composition, and wherein the modular molding system (10) is configured to be field upgradable with a module to an upgraded configuration for producing the molded article including a combination of the first molding composition and a second molding composition. Moreover, the initial-build configuration of the modular molding system (10) includes a molding structure of a purpose-built mono-layer molding system as well as a first subset of a molding structure of a purpose-built multi-layer molding system, and wherein the module having a remainder subset of the molding structure of the purpose-built multi-layer molding system.
