We can take your three dimensional master and replicate it as many times as you require.

Master

Your master should ideally be made from metal. It can be made from softer materials such as resin wood, perspex, polystyrene or milliput, but for fragile masters a more expensive mould will have to be made.

The mould is made in two pieces so your master must be constructed in such a way that there are no undercuts, otherwise the casting may become trapped in the mould.

Please call for advice on how to make your master before you start.

We cast in white metal alloys and coloured resin.

Resin castings is more suited for smaller production runs of larger, more bulky items or items that are too intricate for white metal casting.

The resultant resin casting is cream in colour and can be sprayed with acrylic and cellulose finishes.

Coloured resins are available but they tend to be more brittle and the tones tend to vary. The casts have a with a very smooth finish with any surface detailing being vividly reproduced.

Resin casting takes place in a vacuum chamber to alleviate the formation of surface bubbles.

The chamber is available for hire for personal use at a rate of £30.00 p/h. The chamber has a diameter of 27cm and is 34cm deep.

The pricing for the casting is broken down into two parts. Firstly there is a set up charge for the moulds. Secondly there is a charge per item cast.
Mould set up starts from £115.00.
