  Customer Quotes about Plastic Prototypes  

 

 

"Smooth Process" Evan B. Redwood City, CA
"I really enjoyed the smooth process from your online quote to the FedEx next day delivery."

"Saved Us $$" Jacob N. British Columbia, Canada
"We thought our CAD drawings were exact, but decided to have you create a rapid prototype for us so we could verify the part before we went to manufacturing. We received our part and noticed we had an error in our drawing. Thanks to you, we were able to make a few modifications that saved us $$ on final tooling."

Urethane Casting  

Who uses Urethane Casting?
urethane casting is a rapid manufacturing and rapid prototyping technology. urethane prototypes are created with an extremely high level of detail and excellent surface finish making it an excellent choice where the part needs to be duplicated up to 100 times.. Urethane resin is a polymer resin designed to simulate ABS plastic and many other materials such as rubber producing a cosmetically accurate prototype.

How does it work?
Urethane casting works by first creating a stereolithography pattern master used to create a silicone mold. The silicone mold is then can used to produce about 20 parts, molds can make more or less depending on the complexity of the part.

Urethane Prototypes can be color matched to customer supplied colors to make a very production like prototype, very close to an injection molded part.

Give me the details!
TOLERANCES
Generally models hold a tolerance of 0.01 inches but is dependant on the complexity and specific design of the model.

A custom quote is needed for urethane casting, you can email your part files for a quotation.
