Mold making and impression taking

A good mold replicates the surface of the original and can be demolded without damaging the details. The choice of silicone therefore depends on the geometry and the subsequent casting material.

Our articles guide you through the fundamentals of mold making and reproduction. This includes crosslinking systems, hardness and tensile strength, the use of release agents, and possible curing problems.
