Urethane Casting
How does it work?
Urethane casting utilizes silicone RTV molds as tooling to cast finished components with various physical properties, such as soft, hard, or heat resistant. These can mimic or replace components made from more complicated, expensive, and involved processes.
Advantages
- Cosmetically good components that can be painted or colored to look like production parts
- High resolution & fine feature details translate well from a master pattern
- Good cost-per-part, particularly on lower volumes of parts
- Good overall accuracy & surface-quality reproduction
Production Parts
Manufacture or cast custom one-offs to low-volume part runs.
Functional Prototyping
Parts can be utilized for full-usage scenarios, as seen in plastic applications.
Look-See or Prototype
Excellent for simple look/see part(s), example pieces, or prototypes.
