This is the fastest, cheapest and yet one of the best ways to replicate a plastic part in a polyurethane material in almost any durometer or color. Standard tool life is 25 parts. A RP pattern is cast over with silicone for a tool; parts are poured and put in a vacuum chamber. Size can range from an inch to eight feet or more. Lead time: 1-2 weeks.
Amber Tool
This is made the same way as a rubber mold except with a super strong base material costing about 20% more, and extending the tool life to about 100 parts. Lead time: 2-3 weeks.
Fiber Tool
An effective method for making hundreds of polyurethane parts, we make Fiber Tools by casting a hard skin epoxy over a pattern and reinforcing the backing with layers of fiberglass. Lead time: 2-4 weeks.
With urethane parts there are multiple options available. To determine which method is best, we take into account your project’s dimensions, material and durometers, as well as the volume of parts needed.
