The master pattern is surrounded by a parting surface that establishes the parting line of the mold. The liquid RTV rubber is poured over the pattern and parting surface combination. Once the rubber has solidified, the parting block is removed and rubber is poured over the pattern and mold half combination. The pattern is removed to yield the mold halves of a rubber tool. Scimitar Prototyping also creates epoxy tools from SLA master patterns to create silicone castings.
Color matching silicone castings is also possible.
Another service fabricates epoxy wax pattern dies from SLA master patterns. These dies are for those customers who need a short-run tool to create wax patterns for investment castings. The estimated tool life is approximately 300-500 wax patterns. The cost and leadtime depends greatly on part complexity.
