Advantages and Applications of Cast Urethane Parts in Manufacturing
Urethane casting can be a reliable and cost-effective manufacturing method for low-volume identical prototypes or end-use parts. Also known as vacuum casting, it involves a custom silicone mold and a urethane casting resin that will be cured and cooled to produce the component. This process makes cast urethane parts faster and more affordable. Although this method is widely used, many product designers and manufacturers are still unaware of how beneficial it can be for their projects. Some manufacturers only use it for bridge tooling to make prototypes before using injection molding for end-use production, overlooking the vast benefits and uses of urethane casting. This blog hopes to explain the advantages and applications of cast urethane parts . · Enhanced design flexibility - Urethane casting allows product designers to be more flexible as it offers access to various materials in different durometers and colors. Moreover, it’s easier to introduce design
