Creating The Combat Wheelchair Miniatures - Spin Casting And Injection Moulding

Forming (3D) models is the core of our company. We do this in silicone molds that are suitable for casting in various metals and plastics. In our foundry, we make products from design to prototype or end product. This enables us to deliver from every stage of the process. During production we use a variety of techniques, including pendulum, vacuum and injection molding. Because we control every aspect of the production process from start to finish, we understand how we can realize your idea.

The production is madewith some Nicem spincast machines, and Siocast ( sioform1) plastic injection machines.

We use round molds for spincasting. These are made of a silicone rubber. To make the mold, the models are placed in a layer of silicone and pressed. After a layer of talcum powder, the second silicone layer is placed. The mold form is closed with a pressure stamp with which the mold can be put under pressure. The silicone is vulcanized in the pressure furnace. After vulcanization, the malleable mass has been converted into a solid, yet bendable shape. After the casting- and air channels have been installed, the mold can be put into production. We use Nicem machines and silicones for our centrifugal casting

Molds for the SiOCAST are different from molds for centrifugal casting. Because these molds do not rotate in the casting machines, the shape is different. The method of production is about the same, but with injection molding the models are placed in the silicone in a different way. By properly cutting the channels, the liquid mass finds its way through the pouring channels after being injected into them at high pressure.
