Application/Finishing Briefs: Silicone Molds For Urethane Castings: Silicone rubber molding is a perfect solution to fill the gap between one-off rapid prototyping and prototype injection molding. Read Brief Penetrating Dye for Translucent Color: To add color and preserve the translucency of PolyJet models, apply a penetrating, aniline dye. Read Brief Clear or Translucent Models: Not all plastic parts are opaque. For clear parts such as lenses, containers, covers, or panels, PolyJet™ offers the advantages of rapid prototyping with the translucency needed for the application. Read Brief Painting Show Quality Models: For sales samples and photography models, painted PolyJet™ parts will give your customers a preview of your newest products. Read Brief Investment Casting for Prototypes and Low Volume Production: With investment casting, a wide variety of metal alloys are available, and the cast parts have exceptional surface finish and dimensional accuracy. Read Brief Electroplating Model Preparation: For product demonstrations or functional applications, electroplating adds the look and characteristics of metal to a PolyJet™ model. Read Brief Thermoforming for Prototype and Short-Run Applications: Thermoforming is a collection of manufacturing methods that heat and form sheets of extruded plastic. Thermoforming processes include drape, vacuum and pressure forming. Read Brief Sand Casting: This process guide describes the application of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM®) to automated (flaskless) casting with green sand.
