One of our main services is silicone moulding and cold casting or vacuum casting. We work with 2 main types of materials – silicone and polyurethane. Both of these come in a range of hardnesses and can be pigmented with a select pallette of colours.
We use rigid moulds when pouring silicone parts and silicone moulds when pouring urethane parts.
The nature of using silicone in moulding means that even the smallest detail on the original is also present on the duplicate. Parts can be poured as rigid or flexible, in any custom colour, opaque or clear, and in some metallics and pearlescents.
When designing for silicone moulding, undercuts must be minimised so that the part is able to be released from the mould. Silicon moulds output, on average, around 15 parts each before a new mould is required.
Requirements: 3D CAD files in STL and SAT format. If you want duplicates of a product and already have a master, you can supply this yourself (only available for casting in polyurethane).
Box and Dice began as a prototyping and modelmaking workshop, servicing Sydney’s Industrial Designers. Over the years we have grown in our product development expertise and now assist designers, brand & marketing production managers and product centered businesses as they work through from concept to production.
We supply a wide range of services that are carried out both in-house and by a close network of local businesses but we understand that each project is unique. So, if your desired service/process/project type may not be featured on our website, it is worth contacting us for more information.
