PRODUCTION QUALITY AT LOW VOLUMES

This process is a quick, cost-effective way to produce 10-200 units with
production-level quality. Typically, each silicone mold will produce 20
castings.


COMPLEX ELASTOMERIC PARTS

Urethane casting is ideal for prototyping elastomeric parts such as complex
gaskets and overmolds on rigid parts.


HIGH LEVEL OF DETAIL

Urethane casting allows for almost limitless complexity, including sharp
internal corners unachievable with CNC machining, and designs without draft or
uniform wall-thickness that can’t be injection molded.


URETHANE CASTING MATERIALS

ABS-Like

Acrylic-Like

Opaque Elastomer

Waterclear Elastomer


ABS-LIKE

ABS-Like is a general purpose polyurethane plastic that simulates ABS
thermoplastic. This material is a great choice for most product enclosures.

OPAQUE ELASTOMER

Opaque Elastomer is a polyurethane plastic that simulates all kinds of
rubber-like materials such as TPE, TPU, and silicone rubber. This material is
great for wearables, gaskets, and overmolds and is available from Shore 20A to
Shore 90A in 10A increments.

Technology Overview


WHAT IS URETHANE CASTING

About the Urethane Casting Process

Urethane casting (also known as RTV molding, cast urethane, and silicone
molding) is a fabrication method that uses silicone molds to produce
production-quality plastic parts.

Urethane Casting production consists of three main steps:
‍
1. Build a master pattern using 3D printing or CNC machining
2. Build the mold by pouring platinum silicone around master
3. Pour liquid polyurethane resin into mold, create polyurethane casting under
vacuum

Advantages of Urethane Casting

With urethane casting, you can get production quality parts at low volumes and
without the high costs and lead times of steel or aluminum tooling. This is
helpful for bringing new products to market where you may want production-grade
products to test with new customers and markets and validate your design
hypotheses before making a substantial investment to scale manufacturing.

Urethane Casting Design Considerations

If you are familiar with designing parts for injection molding, you can apply
the same best practices and rules of thumb to design parts for urethane casting.

YOUR GUIDE TO NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTION (NPI)

Developing a new product and bringing it to market is a massive undertaking, but
it’s also what drives the advancement of any industry. The Harvard Business
Review says that “ideally, a successful new product can set industry

crucial new markets.”  Not every product can pace […]

MANUFACTURING COSTS OF 3D PRINTING VS URETHANE CASTING VS INJECTION MOLDING

3D printing, urethane casting, and injection molding: they’re each suited to
different stages of the product development and production process, but how do
you know when to use each one? A few factors go into this decision: cost, lead
time, and quality. In this article, we’ll discuss indirect and direct costs and
lead times for […]
