soft tooling

For metal components, wax patterns are produced from the soft tooling for investment casting.

They can also be mechanically fully functional and can be used as masters for soft tooling or investment casting and the very latest technology can even produce metal injection moulds directly from CAD data in just a few days.

Because the cost for soft tooling is lower, down in the hundreds rather than thousands, cast urethanes are excellent resources for creators still testing product design, for one-off products, or for testing market and consumer response to a new product.
