1- Injection moulding/plastic casting in silicone moulds (RIM / resin casting)

What application is it suitable for ?

Very quick solution (few days) and very competitive it enables injection moulding of plastic prototypes in PU (Polyurethane) of all colors and with a wide range of hardness levels and surface textures. Transparent plastic parts can also be moulded and polished by hand/

How does it work?

A reference part is created, which enables us to produce the resin/silicone mould. The mould will then be used for the injection of up to several dozen PU parts. The PU parts are then stabilized in an oven, and manual finishing can be conducted according to specifications.

2- Injection moulding in rapid aluminium molds

What applications are suitable for rapid aluminium moulds?

The solution of plastic injection in aluminium molds is favored for it’s quick (several days) lead time for mold manufacturing and relative low mould cost compared with conventional injection moulds. Applications are for small series of plastic parts (from several dozen to several hundreds according to their size) with limited lifespan. (max lifetime of moulds : 2 years and/or several thousand parts)

How does it work?

The mould is quickly machined from an aluminium block. Easiness of machining of the aluminium is the reason the molds are quick to be finished and therefore relatively cost-effective. Plastic parts are then directly injected in the mold on injection moulding machines.
