Silicone Mold Making
Fast, low-cost mold making. Xinda pours silicone molds around CNC or 3D printed masters — molds ready in 1-2 days with high-fidelity detail, each mold replicating multiple parts, ideal for fast low-volume sample delivery.
Process Overview
Silicone Mold Making
Silicone mold quality determines the surface and accuracy of cast parts. Xinda starts with master evaluation: confirming master surface quality and parting strategy, vacuum degassing before pouring, and checking cavity integrity after curing. Molds are delivered with usage and care instructions, ensuring consistent replication.
- Flawless surface: vacuum casting controls bubbles for smooth, clean mold surfaces
- Texture fidelity: master details fully replicated with high reproduction accuracy
- Stable replication: standardized mold care for consistent cast parts

Silicone Molds in Prototype Making
- Quick Mold Making From prototype to silicone mold typically takes 1-2 days for quick entry into casting production.
- Detail Reproduction Silicone molds accurately reproduce prototype textures and surface details.
- Low Cost Compared to injection molds, silicone mold costs are only 1/10 to 1/50.
- Multi-Part Replication A single mold can produce 15-25 polyurethane parts.
Silicone Mold Advantages & Cost Benefits
Silicone mold making is the first step in vacuum casting. A prototype is made by CNC or 3D printing, then silicone is poured to form the mold. Silicone molds are quick and inexpensive to make, requiring no costly mold steel or large processing equipment.
Silicone molds accurately reproduce prototype textures and details, ideal for multi-part replication and low-volume production. Xinda provides a complete process from prototype making, silicone pouring, vacuum degassing, to mold maintenance.
