RAPID PROTOTYPING SOLUTIONS » PROCAST RTV TOOLING

History Behind ProCAST
Developed in 1993, ProCAST is still the best RTV process in the U.S. In the early 90s when most engineers weren’t even familiar with SLA, our three-person company relied on growth from the creators of the RP industry, 3D Systems, who supplied us with weekly shipments of newly built SLA models. They knew that if they could show their prospective customers how an SLA model could also be used to create a silicone mold to create duplicate parts cast in color and texture, this would help them sell machines. This became the big break.

Today, hundreds of thousands of ProCAST molds and parts later, our skilled craftsmen use the same proprietary process and equipment engineered and developed in house to make the best parts in the industry. Usage of this process has been employed by a long list of engineers at Fortune 500 companies. And by creating and maintaining our own technology, we continuously maximize the process and increase throughput to our customers for improved quality, accuracy, flexibility and efficiency.

ProCAST is ideal for quick-turn to short-run production parts cast in spec'd out pantone colors and to Mold-Tech® textures. Parts can be made in as little as two days, and we offer a variety of stocked materials including epoxies, urethanes, silicones, Water-clears, shore A elastomers, FAR 25.853 certified, UL94 V0, and USP Class Vl Medical grade materials.

Large parts? No problem. You can't be an industry leader and be limited by size so we created the largest casting chamber on the West Coast, which will produce quality castings up to 1200 in³.

In-mold and overmold requirements are the challenges we embrace. Often times, customers want to make a part stronger than the strongest material available. To address these requests, we offer a variety of in-mold materials, which will strengthen your parts by a factor of 10. For overmolding projects, we love the opportunity to perfect the art that helped kick start our business. 

Quality Control
Our Quality Control department works around the clock inspecting and measuring parts from all of our processes as well as patterns prior to being molded and the cast parts that come off of each ProCAST RTV tool. Productivity in this process is key, therefore each part has a barcode that tracks it through the entire process, allowing us to maximize throughput and maintain the highest level of craftsmanship through a recognized Quality process.
