Rapid Molding / RTV Prototype

Rapid Molding or the RTV (Rapid Thermal Vulcanizing) –  Cast Urethanes Prototype or soft tooling molding process uses our CAD program’s export files to move directly to prototype tooling or rapid aluminum or composite or soft  tooling.  WhiteLight Design also delivers direct access to rapid injection molding services.  We have access to molder referrals of local Georgia and U.S.A. based  injection molding companies including presses ranging in size from 40 tons to 1500 tons with all the necessary auxiliary equipment to process the full range of engineering resins.   The current molding facilities are within 25 miles of our main office location in the Lawrenceville, Atlanta, GA area.

RTV Cast Urethane Molding or Rubber Cast Modeling is a low volume prototyping technique that can produce parts from soft to hard using Polyurethane rubber polymer mold materials to cast Polyurethane and Silicone custom color plastics. These parts can appear just like injection molded plastic parts with similar surface finish, color, properties.  RTV models are recommended when a Client needs more than between 10-20 or up to hundred units.   The process consists of creating a “master” model from which a two piece clam-shell mold is created with a rubber like material.  The molds are then used to gravity or vacuum feed to cast multiple parts of a desired product component. After molding, final clean-up and finishing is necessary. WhiteLight Design’s model-makers have been using Rapid Molding and RTV Molding for years and we are happy to lend our experience to your project.
