Molting is the process of secreting new cuticle. It ends into ecdysis i.e. separating new and old cuticle and shedding old cuticle. It has 3 phases preparatory, ecdysis and post ecdysis. This process ends by eclosion i.e. final emergence out of old cuticle.[Ref: insects]

What is the process called when arthropods have an exoskeleton which they shed as they grow?
Arthropods molt (moult) in a process called ecdysis. It is necessary for growth because of the inflexibility of the exoskeleton. The old shell remnants are called exuviae. Note that the term 'anthropod' should not be confused with 'arthropod'; anthropods are humans or humanoids and do not moult in the canonic sense.
