Molded or Cast Urethane
Molded Urethane is a unique and cost effective process to mold items in smaller quantities that would not be economical to accomplish by casting in metal or injection molding. The process is a great for branding displays and fixtures. Mold costs can range from a few hundred dollars to five thousand dollars for a very complex mold.
A two part mold is made by pouring a flexible plastic around an object or “pattern”. The polyurethane plastic is poured into the mold and then let to cure. The flexible mold is pulled back to release the part. Polyurethane can be painted, drilled, cut, objects cast within, and combined with other components.
Look closely at the few examples provided. Molded Urethane can be made to look like steel, bronze, copper, aluminum by adding metal particles. By making the mold from a stone, a piece of wood or sand the cast plastic is almost indistinguishable from the real thing. The manufacturing process allows producing full displays or components to develop the image you want.
