WHAT IS SILICONE CASTING?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Injection of plastics into silicone molds – production technology products in small batches, (from 20 to \u2248300)<\/strong> by casting parts in a vacuum. By choosing the method of molding plastics into silicone molds, you get a complete copy of your product or its model. Also, casting plastics (and their varieties – polyurethane) into silicone molds gives quick results at a low price<\/strong> (compared to plastic injection molding).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process of manufacturing products using the technology of molding in a silicone mold takes much less time<\/strong> than making a injection mold and is cheaper. This makes it ideal if you need to make a small batch of products in a short time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MATERIAL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Molding of plastics into silicone molds opens up ample opportunities in choosing the shape and color of the product, its hardness and the type of surface (matte or glossy). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plastic – inexpensive, sufficiently durable and functional material<\/strong> … Therefore, vacuum casting of plastic products is popular in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROCESS AND APPLICATION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The manufacturing process consists in pouring the liquid components of synthetic polymer compounds into silicone matrices. This takes place in a vacuum space, so that air bubbles do not get inside the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the end of the casting process, the plastic is hardened. By using the silicone molding method you can get both hard and elastic objects<\/strong> …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small-scale production of parts is used for creation of small batches of products.<\/strong> For example, the manufacture of plastic cases for various technical devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STAGES AND FEATURES OF SMALL-BATCH PRODUCTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

STEP 1: DESIGN <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the production of high-quality silicone molds and the production of plastic enclosures you need a 3D model.<\/strong> It can be created by KLONA modelers (using photographs from different angles, drawings, technical documentation, sketches and sketches of the product, text description).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use an existing 3D model (if available). It may need some work. There is also a possibility use the finished product and create a 3D model in its image.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, the KLONA company offers a full range of services for 3D design<\/strong> … Do you have any cool ideas? Order industrial 3D design and modeling, and turn ideas into reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ORDER DESIGN<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 2: CREATE A PROTOTYPE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most often, a prototype is made by 3D printing<\/strong> (in rare cases, a prototype can be made using a milling machine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After prototyping a product, you can evaluate its functionality. If you find any shortcomings, make changes to the model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 3: MASTER MODEL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After printing the prototype, minor rework (grinding) may be required. Next, the preparation for the casting of the silicone mold is carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This process includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • applying adhesive tape to the future mold release line;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • gluing all holes with adhesive tape, and if the grooves and holes are too deep, they are reinforced with metal elements;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • it is also possible to apply additional compositions to obtain textures (for example, shagreen).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    A fully refined prototype is called a master model. It is he who is used to make a silicone mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    STEP 4: MAKING A SILICONE CASTING MOLD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To create a matrix (shape), a commensurate product is made formwork<\/strong> – the container in which the product is placed. The formwork material must be hard enough to maintain its shape after being poured with silicone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Further inside the formwork the master model is placed, and the gating system is installed<\/strong> (tubes through which plastic will be fed into the silicone mold).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Then the silicone mixed with the hardener is poured into the formwork. Before pouring, the silicone passes degassing process<\/strong> in a vacuum chamber. The container with silicone is placed in a special degassing chamber, where it solidifies. After the end of the hardening process (it lasts about 24 hours), the master model is removed and a ready-made matrix-form is obtained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Vacuum unit – a machine in which a two-component compound is mixed before pouring into a silicone mold, thanks to this unit, plastic under low pressure conditions fills the entire mold without leaving voids and air bubbles<\/strong> … This allows for the production of high quality plastic cases, parts and figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    STEP 5, 6: TEST CASTING AND MOLDING<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The casting is needed to check the shape and evaluate the results of the work done<\/strong> … If, after a test casting of a part or body, the resulting product differs from the master model, you need to modify the shape. This is very an unlikely situation with a low degree of realism.<\/strong> However, if necessary, the form can be modified, it does not take much time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    STEP 7: LAUNCH SMALL BATCH PRODUCTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    After a successful test casting (initial or after finalizing the mold), small-scale production is launched. To do this, a certain number of forms are calculated and created that will be required for the manufacture of a batch of products (based on the fact that one silicone mold can be used about 20 times).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
