If you are interested in urethane casting services you are in the right place. Casting urethane is a manufacturing technology which allows creation of production-like parts with high quality. It is a smart choice for low-to-mid range volume production as it bridges the gap between low-cost method and injection molding.
How Does The Process Works
The urethane casting process is much like the injection process. It only differs by using soft silicon mold instead of metal mold. This process starts with a master pattern designed by 3D printing or CNC machining. Then this master pattern is placed in liquid silicon and forms a mold. When the silicon mold is fully cured it is splitted into its two halves and the master pattern is removed creating the cavity where the Urethane will be injected. Then Urethane and other resin liquid are poured to the mold tool and cured. Though this whole process sounds simple a wide range of equipment is needed to control the process appropriately.
Some Advantages
Let's have a look at some advantages ofurethane casting.
- Urethane casting cost is lower than any other manufacturing methods
- Variety of colors , textures, shapes canbe achieved
- Tooling lead time is shorter than other traditional manufacturing methods
- Has Both rigid and flexible options
- Creates a high standard finish quickly
- Higher details than other methods can be accomplished
- Possible to eliminate the need to paint part
- Higher quality production and add strengthto the part.
Application Of Urethane Casting
Urethane casting is one of the most versatile processes that has been used for rapid prototyping. Various industries use high-quality low volume parts manufactured by this urethane casting process Some of them are:
- Medical device components
- Engineering models
- Rapid prototype
- Automotive vehicles
- Wheels and rollers
- Marketing test samples
- Shock absorber
- Sales samples
- Consumer testing
- Concept models
- Sports equipment
- Products for crowdfunding
- Test prototypes
- Exhibit parts
