Silicone molds are a micro-production technique, also known as soft tooling, which uses soft molds to create small series of prototypes. This solution is ideal for obtaining detailed and complex replicas, thanks to the elasticity of silicone that facilitates the extraction of parts even in the presence of undercuts.
The process starts with creating a silicone cast around a master. Once hardened, the master is removed, leaving a cavity identical to its shape. This mold can be filled with two-component polyurethane resins, formulated to reproduce the technical characteristics of the most common materials, such as rigid plastics (opaque or transparent) and silicone rubbers.
The castings are performed in a vacuum chamber, to eliminate any air bubbles and ensure a uniform finish.
