What Makes Us Different?

As a urethane molding company, we know custom urethane or polyurethane casting is the ideal process to produce near-production quality parts for prototypes and other low-volume needs. Our urethane casting services utilize 3D printing and silicone rubber molds, keeping tooling costs low and turnaround times fast. The unique properties of many production-grade materials can be closely duplicated through different urethane formulations. Especially when compared to plastic injection molding, urethane casting delivers numerous advantages.

Common Applications of Urethane Casting

Many industries use urethane casting for their prototype and production projects. Urethane casting can be a smart choice for a lower-quantity project, as investing in injection mold tooling can be expensive. Another advantage of urethane casting is that it is optimal for use as a first production run, serving as a cost-saving measure to test prototypes before larger-scale production. Advanced prototyping is also feasible with urethane casting because the tooling and design changes cost less than other manufacturing methods. It is also possible to test various materials from a single mold. Parts made using urethane casting can also be used for customer testing, given the high aesthetic quality.

Urethane Casting Applications:

  • Test Prototypes Rapid
  • Prototypes Exhibit Parts
  • Consumer Testing
  • Products for Crowdfunding
  • Lower-Volume Manufacturing
  • Concept Models
  • Sales Samples
  • Engineering Models
  • Marketing Test Samples
  • Pre-Production Runs
  • Bridge to Production Parts
  • Point of Purchase Displays
  • Conveyor Systems
  • Medical Devices
  • Specialty Over-Molding
  • Aircraft Interior Components
