Typical Cast Urethane Uses
Rapid Prototyping
With lead times as low as three days for first articles and two weeks for remaining parts, cast urethane allows for rapid prototype production with flexibility and versatility to make alterations.
Consumer Testing
Cast urethane prototypes are used widely for consumer testing purposes, enabling manufacturers to explore variations in size, strength, material and color quickly and cost-effectively.
Bridge Tooling
The flexibility of the urethane casting process makes it ideal for bridge tooling, enabling parts production at a lower volume while production tooling scales up.
Joints Casting
Urethane casting is ideal for manufacturing strong, durable mechanical joints with overlapping features.
