The mould is designed as per the guidelines and is fabricated. The bio-composite material is tested for mechanical properties and the obtained results were appreciable. The fabricated matched-die mould suits for biocomposites, wood composites and polymeric materials. Matched-die mould design features and compatibility of the design are carried out to make it simple and easier. © Springer India 2015.Bio-compositeDesign featuresMatched-diePolymers
