What is the process of the process of silicone mold prototype? do you know? Next, the editor of Xiehe CNC processing factory will give you a brief introduction.

1. Prototype

Before making a silicone mold, you need to make a prototype. The prototype can be made of the more common ABS material, which can be processed by CNC. Or 3D printing, the surface effect of the prototype determines the surface effect of the batch of prototypes to be copied later, so the original version must be well done and beautiful!

2. Silicone mold

After the prototype is ready, start to make the silicone mold. First fix the prototype, fix the bakelite board or ABS board in 5 directions of the prototype (left, right, front, back and down), and pour silicone! After drying for eight hours, cut the silicone mold and take out the prototype. At this point the silicone mold is ready.

3. Injection type

Bake the mold for 1 hour, keep the temperature constant at 100 degrees, then take out the mold to cool down naturally, or use a fan to cool down, do not cool down in water, if you cool down in water, the product will definitely shrink! After cooling down to room temperature, inject the liquid gum material into the silicone mold and let it dry. The service life of the transparent silicone mold is about 8 to 10 times. After injecting the material, put it in the oven for 2 hours, take it out and cool it down to room temperature naturally, then open the mold and take out the product.
