How 3D printing can be used in the production of small metal
WHITE PAPER
Vulcanized Rubber Molding with 3D Printed Masters
Make master patterns for rubber molding with 3D printing for faster iteration and lower costs. Use the masters to create molds that produce waxes in quantity for investment casting. Formlabs Standard Resins are perfect for cold molding (RTV) and High Temp Resin withstands the heat of vulcanizing natural rubber.

Vulcanized rubber molds are used to produce wax models in quantity for investment casting of metal parts such as jewellery, small industrial components, and gaming miniatures. Making master patterns for molding by machining or hand-crafting can be prohibitively expensive or imprecise. 3D printing with high-performance materials allows designers and casters to leverage digital technology in their production processes.

Formlabs Standard Resins (Black, Grey) and High Temp Resin are the recommended choice for vulcanized rubber molds. Castable Wax Resin can also be used for RTV molding, if you already use it for direct resin casting.
