What is urethane casting

Silicone Molds for Production-Like Parts

A master pattern is used to make a silicone mold, then polyurethane resin is cast under vacuum. The result looks and behaves like the final molded part — without the cost of steel tooling.

Best for market testing, bridge volumes and design validation

Use urethane casting when you need 10–200 parts with the right colour, texture, hardness and assembly fit. It is ideal before committing to injection molding tooling.

  • Looks-like and works-like prototypes
  • Bridge production before hard tooling
  • Colour matching, texture and soft-touch
  • Inserts, overmolded features and assembly

Why BAOLAIHUA

Why Choose Us for Urethane Casting

Low tooling cost

Silicone molds avoid steel tooling, so low volumes become economically viable.

Fast turnaround

Silicone molds in 2–3 days; cast parts from 7 days, including finishing.

Production-like materials

Rigid, flexible, rubber-like and transparent PU systems from 25A to 90A Shore.

Finish & colour

Colour matching, texture, painting, laser marking and assembly under one roof.

Process

How Urethane Casting Works

STEP 01

Master pattern

Your CAD or a 3D printed master is finished to the required surface and tolerance.

STEP 02

Silicone mold

A vacuum-cast silicone mold captures undercuts, texture and fine detail.

STEP 03

Cast the part

PU resin is poured under vacuum, then cured to the specified hardness and colour.

STEP 04

Finish & inspect

Deflashing, painting, texture, inserts and dimensional checks before shipment.

Materials & finishes

Material Options

Choose the hardness, look and feel that match your production intent.

Rigid PU

FAQ

Questions About Urethane Casting

How many parts can one silicone mold make?

Typically 10–200 parts per mold, depending on geometry, resin and demolding care. We confirm the expected mold life during DFM.

How fast is urethane casting?

Silicone molds take 2–3 days; cast parts are typically ready in 7 days, including finishing.

Can you match my production colour and texture?

Yes. We match Pantone/RAL colours, gloss or matte levels, textures and soft-touch finishes against an approved sample.

What is the difference from injection molding?

Urethane casting uses a silicone mold and PU resin, so tooling is much cheaper and faster, but part volume and material choice are more limited.

Do you sign an NDA?

Yes. Tell us before sending files and we will issue a mutual NDA.
