Process

Using silicone molds cast over rapid SLA masters, casting is a perfect method for bridging the gap between prototyping and mass production. Simulating the injection molding method, casting is used to produce rigid or flexible parts, opaque or clear, while offering many advantages:

• Low-cost tooling that is economical for small production volumes and/or large parts.
• Economic startup costs for small series
• More creative possibilities because this method can easily reproduce complex details and allows the molding of thin and thick walls in a single part.
• Encapsulation of inserts or delicate components is easy because casting pressures and temperatures are low. This can reduce assembly costs or solve sealing problems.
