moulding A process for making a lens in which a hot piece of glass (called a parison or gob) or liquid polymer (for contact lenses) is pressed to a predetermined shape. Frames can also be manufactured by pouring a soft material (plastic or molten metal) into a mould which takes on the desired shape after cooling (or drying). The technique is useful for large volume production. Note: also spelt molding. See spin-cast contact lens; surfacing. How to thank TFD for its existence?
