szilikonformázás

Szilikonformázás is a manufacturing process that utilizes silicone as the mold material. It is a versatile technique employed for creating a wide range of products, from intricate prototypes to high-volume production parts. The process begins with the creation of a master model, which can be made from various materials. This master model is then placed into a mold box, and liquid silicone is poured over it. The silicone cures, typically at room temperature or with gentle heating, forming a flexible and durable mold. Once cured, the master model is removed, leaving a cavity that perfectly replicates its shape. This silicone mold can then be used to cast other materials, such as resins, waxes, or even low-melt metals. The flexibility of silicone allows for the easy demolding of complex geometries and undercuts without damaging the cast part. This method is particularly advantageous for producing items with fine details and smooth surfaces. It finds applications in industries like art, jewelry making, product design, and rapid prototyping due to its cost-effectiveness and ability to capture intricate details. The silicone's inherent properties, such as its resistance to heat, chemicals, and UV radiation, contribute to the longevity and reusability of the molds.
