Our Molding and Casting Services
When you require molding and casting services, you need to work with a company that understands your specifications, has the machines and experience to accomplish your goals, and is willing to walk you through the prototyping and production process from beginning to end.
Thanks to Prototek Digital Manufacturing, you can work with a knowledgeable provider of casting and molding solutions for your production efforts. We focus on excellent communication, efficiency, quality, support, and project flexibility. Our team holds ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certifications for your peace of mind.
Understanding Our Casting and Molding Capabilities
At Prototek, we use prototype molding and casting services to form original parts by shaping liquids and pliable materials inside carefully shaped molds and inserts. We understand that your production practices require a unique approach. To exceed your expectations, Prototek offers more than one type of molding and casting service.
Silicone and Urethane Casting Services
We recommend our silicone and urethane prototype casting services for projects demanding a rapid turnaround or low-volume runs. Our team allows you to control the flexibility, hardness, and color of the silicone and urethane materials used in your finished components. Most decision-makers use this form of casting to make rugged replicas of objects. This is especially useful when low-volume components can be made into molds and filled to create precise recreations.
Silicone and urethane castings are proactive when you have a component that already exists or a working model to reference. Prototek assists with this, offering stereolithography and material jetting services to aid in the formation of 3D objects to fill with silicone or urethane materials.
Wax Casting Services
Are you in need of components made in batches of 50 units or less? Wax casting services from Prototek are ideal when your projects involve making metal parts. The creation of small metal components ordinarily means working with specialized tooling and attachments. Wax casting services remove the need for this equipment, as Prototek relies on lasers and room temperature vulcanization (RTV) molds to generate a wax casting replica of your original technology.
Each wax casting is exposed to a ceramic mixture consisting of refractory materials and binders. Completing this process multiple times enables the mold to feature a thick ceramic shell. Intense heat is applied to the mold to remove the initial wax material — our professionals are left with a hollow ceramic shell that can be filled with molten metal, which forms your finished component. Our experts break the remaining ceramic casing, assess the finished product, and proceed with sandblasting for the desired finish.
Wax casting services create components that are incredibly accurate. Consider this for parts that are highly detailed.
Injection Molding Services
Choose injection molding services from Prototek when you need high-volume production solutions. Prototek injects heated molten material into industrial molds. These molds are produced with metal so that the injected materials take on the shape of the void space and harden while cooling. Industrial molds can be used more than once, which allows us to move with remarkable speed without sacrificing precision.
Our injection molding services are fully scalable. No matter whether your projects call for injection molding to form prototypes or full production runs, Prototek will help you.
Multiple Materials and Finishes Available
Prototek keeps your options open during the prototyping and production stages. Most of our molding and casting services involve the use of silicones, urethanes, waxes, and thermoplastics. You will work closely with a representative from Prototek to decide on the best approach to reaching success.
We will speak with you about your project’s specifications. From products that need to remain durable or clear to solutions needing a high level of thermal or chemical resistance, there is something for your industry here. All of our professionals are familiar with our manufacturing capabilities. We also provide recommendations for rough or smooth finishes. It is our goal to meet the functional and aesthetic requirements for your products and end users.
Prototek is ready to help you with choices for surface textures, custom painting, polishing, coatings, and post-processing.
Serving a Range of Industries for Convenience
With Prototek, you get the attention and high level of customer support you deserve. We’re proud to partner with experts in a long list of industries to create prototypes, bridge and short-run production items, end-user components, housings, enclosures, and gaskets, but this is just scratching the surface of our full capabilities.
Trust us to abide by compliance standards for specialized industries, including:
