Urethane Casting Benefits
Fast and consistent creation of high-quality polymer parts
Rapid Part Delivery
Urethane casting gives companies a first-to-market advantage and first shots within 7-10 business days.
This allows companies to get their products on shelves long before hard-tooling for traditional injection molding could be completed.
Size & Capacity
Stratasys Direct operate the largest polymer casting enterprise in North America – both in terms of production capacity and part size capabilities.
Get the first-to-market advantage through the use of quick-turn, 3D printed master patterns and fast curing silicone molds.
Prototype & Production Parts
Urethane casting molds can yield up to 75 repeatable production components.
Before committing to a production run, we can cast a true-to-product part for testing.
Cast cosmetic housings for medical devices with healthcare-friendly materials.
How Does Urethane Casting Work?
Urethane Casting utilizes quick curing silicone molds and 3D printed master patterns.
Urethane Casting Materials
Stratasys meet industry-specific applications and unique needs with an array of Shore A and D, flexible, rigid and foam materials.
UL 94-VO and FAR 25.853 flame ratings, high temperature, clear and medical imaging materials are all available. Review materials »
Composite Casting
During the casting process, sheet materials like fiberglass, carbon fiber and Kevlar can be positioned into a mold before it is filled with material.
The resulting tough composite-reinforced cast urethane has a high flex modulus and impact strength.
Custom Casting
Developments in materials and molding methods enable customers to quickly manufacture high quality urethane castings.
Proprietary Casting Method
The proprietary casting process is a multi-step method that applies vacuum, heat and pressure to advanced formula polymers (AFP’s).
The process results in void-free, strong and stable production and pre-production components.
Molding Capacity
How many parts can you get from a single Urethane Casting mold? It depends on several factors, but a Urethane Casting mold typically yields 15 to 25 parts.
One factor that may reduce the lifespan of a mold is the geometry—sharp edges or deep undercuts tend to deteriorate more quickly.
VolumeCast—a process that utilizes hybrid tooling and proprietary casting techniques—can have an extended mold life, up to between 35 and 75 units.
What is the largest size of a part can you cast in urethane?
The maximum size for a cast urethane part is approximately 1,000 cubic inches, but large parts can be reviewed on an individual basis to determine compatibility with our casting processes.
