Advantages of Urethane Casting – Part 2: Cost
Urethane casting has several advantages over other plastic manufacturing processes like injection molding and additive manufacturing (3D printing). It is fast, inexpensive, and produces high-quality parts. Last week we discussed one advantage of urethane casting, speed. This week we’ll take a look at the second advantage: cost. The liquid poured and cured silicone molds used for casting urethane are much cheaper to produce compared to creating injection mold “hard” tooling. To put it in perspective, a casting project might be hundreds of [...]
