In addition to two-part resin molding, silicone cavities also are suitable for low-pressure injection molding of waxes for investment casting.
Using a low pressure, injection system, semi-molten wax is forced into the silicone cavity until full. The cavity is then chilled until the wax has fully solidified. The wax is then removed from the cavity and the process repeated. However, due to the fragility of the investment casting wax material, extreme care must be exercised when removing wax parts from the silicone tool.
The advantages of RTV silicone rubber tooling is that it is quick to produce, reproduces detail impressively well and it’s fast for producing a limited number of plastic parts. Disadvantages are poor tool life, cost of silicone rubber and lengthy cycle time. Also, it does not use the final production material (except for wax) or final manufacturing process.
actually our workshop has wax injection molding machines, they can help us to make some samples for our new design
The jewelry industry often uses wax injection molding to develop new products
thanks for your introduction, very useful!
Wax injection molding is still used in many industries
I think wax injection molding also can be a quick molding method to make some samples for new products.
In fact, there are many types of molds，Never too old to learn！
