Etude d’un moule par soufflage du verre

Abstract

Molding can produce solid or hollow parts that can have very complex shapes. A significant saving in material is thus achieved and machining costs are considerably reduced. The objective of this master's thesis is the study of a glass blowing mold which is the subject of design in the company where I carried out my internship (Al Moule Spa). The first part includes two discoveries of the main glass materials and the glass manufacturing processes. The second part includes a theoretical study on the technologies for transforming glass using two molds, namely injection and glass blowing. The last part of my work consists of choosing the materials for the mold and designing it.
