Spincasting
Assorted spincast parts with 6" scale
Spincasting uses rubber molds to produce cast resin or metal parts. This process is cost effective for producing small parts in relatively small quantities. Surface finish is nearly as nice as lost wax investment casting.
I offer spincasting services to professional model makers. Spincasting services are limited to scale model parts.
Key Benefits
 | Relatively low cost tooling (molds) |
| Polyurethane resin parts are usually bubble free |
| Flexible rubber molds can accommodate patterns without draft and may accommodate patterns with small undercuts |
| Various Teflon/metal/plastic cores and inserts are possible making for greater versatility. |
| Fast turnaround time if workload permits |
