Silikonivaluihin

Silikonivaluihin refers to casting or molding using silicone. This process involves creating a mold from an original object, typically using a silicone material, and then pouring another material into that mold to create a replica. Silicone molds are popular due to their flexibility, durability, and ability to capture fine details.

The original object, often called the "master," is placed in a container, and the liquid silicone rubber is mixed and poured over it. Once the silicone cures and hardens, the master is removed, leaving a hollow cavity in the shape of the original object. This silicone mold can then be used to cast various materials such as resins, waxes, soaps, or even low-melt metals.

Silikonivaluihin is widely used in industries like product prototyping, art and sculpture reproduction, jewelry making, and special effects. The choice of silicone for mold making depends on factors such as the required hardness, tear strength, and temperature resistance. Different types of silicone, like tin-cure or platinum-cure silicones, offer distinct properties suitable for specific applications. This technique allows for the creation of intricate and complex shapes with a high degree of accuracy.
