USE CAST URETHANE PARTS FOR SHORT RUN, PRODUCTION-QUALITY RESULTS

WHAT IS URETHANE CASTING?

The cast urethane parts molding process requires a master pattern (commonly a SLA master) to create a silicone mold (or tool). This mold contains an empty cavity in the shape of the desired part which is filled with a liquid urethane. After the urethane has cured, the mold is opened and the finished part is removed. A perfect copy of the master pattern. This process is repeated until the required amount of parts is created.

Textures can be applied directly to the SLA master to simulate injection-molding finishes and most cast urethane parts can also be painted, plated, pad printed and hot stamped to add finishing cosmetic touches.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

concept models, fit testing, casting patterns, clear "lens like" parts and see through housings, presentation models, photo shoot stand-ins
