Molding/Urethane Casting
To get production quality urethane castings you need two things
RTV silicone tooling, and vacuum casting machines. Vacuum casting
gives you consistent void free urethane parts that can be molded
in color and texture. From small intricate internal parts to large
appliance housings Aerosport can use one of it's two vacuum casting
machines to make one part or 100. Aerosport Modeling is your urethane
expert.
In the RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanized) tooling process, liquid
silicone rubber is poured around a master pattern. The resulting
mold is pulled from the pattern and cured, then subsequently used
to cast urethane parts. The key advantage of this process is being
able to obtain higher quantities of prototypes at relatively low
cost.
Applications 
Urethane castings...
- provide precision and premium plastic prototypes.
- are used to assist engineering design before hard tool.
- offer low cost tooling, allowing easy modification.
- reduce time to market.
- are used to evaluate potential markets.
- assist in U.L. approval and in house testing.
- offer aesthetic application where appearance is critical.
- are used in sales presentation and marketing shows.
Delivery of part(s) usually in 1-2 weeks.

MK Technology Vacuum Casting
Also German engineered the MK can produce flawless urethane over molds
in addition to flawless urethane parts. Utilizing
vacuum and pressure, our Urethane Casting process produces parts in
a variety of materials, colors and textures providing the look and
feel of finished production. Aerosport's techniques allow us to integrate
multiple colors and textures into a single part. Master patterns can
be made by rapid prototype process or machined and fabricated for
highest precision. Aerosport's Urethane Casting process is ideal when
your program calls for a fast and cost effective low volume solution.
There are a wide variety of materials available. Materials can simulate
HDPE, ABS, Nylon, PC, Styrene and TPE Shore A materials. Hardness
ranges from 25 Shore A to 85 Shore D materials.
Urethanes molded in Shore A Durometer
