Urethane Casting is the next step after a 3D printed prototype. Our proprietary process uses SLA, FDM, or CNC master model patterns to create the highest quality cast-urethane parts available.
Our Urethane Casting process is ideal for higher quantities (from 10 to 1,000) and creates parts in both color and texture, giving us the ability to create custom color-matched parts with the texture pulled from the mold cavity for a repeatable quality output.
Each part goes through a five-point inspection plan at three separate manufacturing stages, to control the process and produce aesthetically pleasing and geometrically toleranced end-use parts. For projects with in-mold and overmold requirements, we offer a variety of Shore A rubber materials, and in-mold fiber additives to strengthen parts by a factor of 10.
We also have one of the largest casting chambers in the United States, with the capabilities to produce very large, void-free cast parts.
