Bridge prototype validation and low-volume production with rapid molds.
Silicone molds made from printed masters reproduce plastic appearance parts with an injection-like finish.
The process is suitable for low-volume production and material validation.
The process is suitable for low-volume production and material validation.
01
Reaction Injection Molding
Two-component polyurethane is mixed and injected at low pressure, then reacts in the mold to form large, even-wall plastic parts for development batches.
02
Process
The workflow covers master and mold preparation, metering and mixing, low-pressure injection, curing, demolding and finishing.
01 Mold Preparation
Confirm parting, inserts and surface texture.
02 Metering
Mix two components at a controlled ratio.
03 Injection
Fill the large mold cavity steadily.
04 Finishing
Demold, trim and apply finishing.
03
Process Features
Low tooling investment and short lead times, with adjustable color, hardness and flame resistance for medical, automotive and industrial covers.
