URETHANE CASTING DFM
Urethane casting, or RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanization) is an efficient way to produce low-volume parts with injection-molding-like quality. With much quicker lead times, urethane casting is perfect for a variety of thermoplastics, rubbers, and resins. While these soft tools are quick to make, they do have short lifetimes. The process follows three main steps: First, we create a master pattern using 3D printing or CNC machining. Second, we pour liquid silicone around the master to build the mold. Finally, the resin is poured into the mold to produce a high-quality replica.
URETHANE CASTING OPTIONS
LEAD TIME
Master pattern and mold usually takes 3-4 days to make, with parts turnaround in 7-14 days.
PAINTING
We have your cosmetic needs covered. Whether you need glossy or matte, textured or soft-touch, we’ll meet your desired finishes.
ASSEMBLY
We’ll handle secondary assembly tasks like inserts, screws, or simple glue assemblies. No matter how small the task, we’re Onit.
COLOR
OPTIONS
Naturally, urethane is milky-white in color. We’ll blend the correct color pigmentation to match your specific PMS color.
LONGEVITY
Our Soft tools can output a minimum of 20 units but we hold on to the master pattern for a year and making new tools is a cinch!

TESTIMONIALS
Whether it's additive or subtractive, it's collaborative. See for yourself.
“We reached out to Onit for support on a cost-reduction initiative for one of our overly complex assemblies. The Onit team was instrumental in redesigning several components from metal to plastic, and they even helped consolidate a few part numbers, which streamlined our BOM and ultimately lowered our overall costs."
"Onit Mfg has been one of the most communicative and accountable vendors that I've worked with. Where they shine is their excellent communication and customer service, as well as their ability to address complex manufacturing challenges."
We came to Onit Mfg with a project that had been continuously no-bid by other suppliers. They quickly identified the challenges and provided innovative solutions for our unique project requirements. The time and engineering resources we saved working with this team is invaluable - We couldn’t have found a better partner."
