Mold Making

At ImprobableCast, we utilize only the highest quality silicone and urethane rubber to replicate original models with exceptional fidelity.  Our mold makers can create molds for almost anything including items with complex geometry and severe undercuts.

Casting and Production

We offer a variety of casting materials to fit any project including:

• Urethane plastic (from semi-rigid 45D hardness all the way to 88D)
• Polyurethane plastic
• Urethane rubber (from 10A to 60A hardness)
• Silicone rubber (from 0A to 50A hardness)
• Food safe plastics and rubbers
• Fire resistant plastic
• Plaster
• Wax

Many special admixtures and surface treatments are available including, but not limited to:

• Phosphorescent glow in the dark (green, violet, blue, red and others!)

Sculpting, painting and concept art

We offer a variety of creative services from our in-house staff and stable of highly talented freelancers including the creation of concept art from design briefs, maquette sculpture, scale model building, paint masters and palette selection.

Prototyping and 3D Print Finishing

3D Printing is amazing and it has begun to revolutionize many industries.  Many clients have come to us with 3D prints looking to use them as production masters.  With rare exception, we advise against this.  The mold making process recreates sub-microscopic detail and passes all of those details on to every casting for better or for worse.

Rather than create costly finish work on the production line, we offer a 3D Print Finishing Service.  This service takes a 3D print and transfers it to an industry standard wax model which is then toleranced and resurfaced to create a new production master that retains or improves all of the detail of the original without the undesirable “stair step” or surface blemishes common to many 3D printing processes.
