SILICONE MOLDING

Silicone molding is a prototyping process that uses silicone to make a mold and places a 3D printed object (negative) inside of it to make the impression. For more details on what this looks like please check the following link.

For those interested in Silicone Molding:

​

​

Silicone molding is for people who are looking to manufacture small batches (less than 1000 units) of parts without investing in a expensive metal mold.

​​

This is a great concept for those who already have a 3D printed design and would like to make a few more parts without it costing too much.

​​​

Please be mindful that although this is a cheaper process silicone molds only last for about 50 parts.

 

Also, silicone molds do not pick up details of a negative that are less than 1/16" of an inch.

 

Almost the same principals apply for Silicone Molding as Injection Molding.

 

At ISS, if you have purchased the molding supplies, you own the mold.
