3D Printing Molds for Poured Rubber or Plastic Parts
3D Printing is a revolutionary technique for creating prototypes and parts in very low volumes. But it can also be used in combination with another technique to cost-effectively make parts in quantities up to 250 or more. That other technique is casting parts out of...
Case Study: Combining 3D Printing with Urethane Casting
In the reverse engineering business, no two projects are the same. There are always different challenges, and we have to apply our capabilities to overcome them. Recently, we had a customer come to us with a particularly unique project. It was an unusual, custom part...
Comparing 3D Printing, Urethane Casting, and Injection Molding for Making Low-Volume Plastic Parts
When it comes to producing plastic parts in prototyping and low-volume applications, there are three main options: 3D Printing, Urethane Casting, and Low-Volume Injection Molding. Which is best for your needs? First, let’s quickly define each of the techniques: 3D...
