    The passage discusses various plastic shaping processes like extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, thermoforming, and foaming. It also discusses defects associated with these processes and how they compare with other materials like metals.

    Processes discussed include extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, thermoforming, compression molding, and foaming. Specific techniques within these such as extrusion blow molding and reaction injection molding are also mentioned.

    Injection molding allows for automation and high production rates but molds can be more complex than compression molding. Cycle times are generally shorter than thermoforming but longer than compression molding of thermosets. Parts may have defects like weld lines, sinks, or flashes.
