FAQ

Got a question? We've got answers. If you have something else, email sales@axtonne.com.
Urethane casting (also called RTV, Room Temperature Vulcanization) uses a silicone mold made from a master pattern to produce end-use plastic and rubber parts. It's the right fit for low- to mid-volume runs where injection molding tooling isn't economical.
