The bridge between a 3D-printed prototype and a tooled part: urethane casting from silicone molds for short runs of 10 to 500. Production-like material feel without the tooling timeline. One accountable team making hardware since 2009.
A faster path to a real-feeling part when the volume does not justify steel tooling.
Molds built from a master pattern. Each mold runs 20 to 25 cycles before degradation.
Polyurethane resins matched to ABS, polypropylene, rubber, and clear acrylic look-alikes.
Pantone color matching, frosted, and water-clear casts for cosmetic prototypes.
Two-shot casts with rigid plus soft-touch elastomer. Inserts, threads, and metal hardware encapsulated.
A four-step flow that gets a production-feel run in your hands inside two weeks.
An SLA print or CNC pattern built to the production geometry. Surface finished to the target.
Pattern is encased in silicone. Mold cured, cut, and prepped for the casting cycle.
Resin poured, vacuum-degassed, demolded. Parts trimmed, painted, and assembled if required.
Dimensional check, photos for sign-off, packed, and shipped.
The right tool when volume is between 10 and 500 and tooling is too slow or too expensive.
| Stage | What you receive |
|---|---|
| Volume per mold | 20 to 25 parts per silicone mold, multi-mold runs to 500+ |
| Lead time | 7 to 14 business days from approved CAD |
| Materials | Rigid (ABS-like), flexible (Shore 30A to 90A), clear acrylic-like, polypropylene-like |
| Tolerance | ±0.2 mm or ±0.3% of the cast dimension, whichever is greater |
| Best use | Pre-tooling validation, trade-show units, certification samples, low-volume production |

Typically 20 to 25 parts before the mold degrades. For larger runs, we build duplicate molds in parallel and combine output to reach 500+ parts.
Below about 500 units, yes. Resin casting skips the tooling cost. Above 500 units, injection molding is almost always cheaper per part.
Very close. Resins are formulated to match the feel and stiffness of common production plastics like ABS, PP, and rubber. Color, surface finish, and translucency can all be matched.
