Polyurethane Cast Molding

Urethane casting is a cost-effective choice for producing multiple prototypes with production-grade material performance or low-volume production parts.

What is Urethane Casting?

Urethane casting, also known as polyurethane casting or cast molding, is a versatile manufacturing process. It entails producing top-quality prototypes and low-volume production components by pouring liquid urethane material into molds to form objects. This technique is employed to craft a wide range of items, from small-scale prototypes to intricate parts.

Cast Urethane Molding Working Process

Our cast urethane molding process is carefully controlled at every stage to ensure consistent quality, dimensional accuracy, and reliable performance. The manufacturing process typically includes the following steps:

Mold Creation for Precision

We begin by crafting a mold designed to perfectly replicate the desired part, ensuring all intricate details are captured accurately.

Expert Material Mixing and Pouring

Our skilled technicians masterfully mix and pour polyurethane molding material, ensuring it fills every cavity for a flawless part.

Curing for Quality

During curing, the material solidifies, acquiring the intended shape and unmatched quality.

Careful Demolding and Refinement

After curing, we expertly demold the part, then apply meticulous finishing touches for a refined, high-quality product.

Urethane Casting Options

Urethane casting is a highly versatile process that allows for the precision creation of customized parts. We specialize in providing tailored solutions to meet your unique requirements. With a wide range of color options, customizable finishes, versatile resins, and value-added extras, our focus is on delivering precision and customization to bring your projects to life.

Versatile Color Options

Choose from a wide array of colors to suit your project's aesthetics. We also offer the option for customers to provide color samples for exact color matching.

Custom Surface Finishes

Achieve the exact texture and finish you desire for your parts. Our urethane casting process allows for precise customization of mold textures like SPI, VDI.

Material

Unlike CNC machining, urethane casting has limitations on material compatibility. Our urethane casting capabilities encompass rigid materials in Shore D and elastomeric options in Shore A resin.

Value-Added Options

We offer value-added options such as spray painting, pad printing, screen printing, assembly, and more to meet additional requirements for your parts.

What is the difference between urethane casting and injection molding?

Urethane casting is ideal for low-volume production and allows more flexibility in material properties. Injection molding is more suitable for high-volume production with higher upfront tooling costs but faster per-part production.

How many parts can be made from a urethane casting mold?

We use durable metal molds for urethane casting, which are ideal for larger production runs. Depending on the resin type and part complexity, each mold can produce hundreds to thousands of high-quality parts, ensuring consistent performance and efficiency for batch production.

What is the typical lead time for urethane casting parts?

Depending on the complexity and quantity, lead times usually range from 3 days to 2 weeks for prototypes, and up to a few weeks for small production batches.

Can urethane casting parts be painted or finished?

Yes! We provide a range of finishing services for urethane casting parts to meet your design and functional needs. Our team can sand, polish, paint, plate, or apply specialized coatings to achieve the exact color, texture, and appearance you
