Denver, CO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/29/2015 -- Rubber Plaster Molding (RPM), also known as plaster mold casting, offers a substitute to sand casting, prototype die casting and investment casting. For short run productions of zinc and aluminum parts, customers can take advantage of the services of RPM Casting from Prototype Casting. With the use of various techniques such as SLA's wax patterns, hard tooling or customer supplied patterns; the company creates silicone master tools for different parts. This silicone tooling can be further utilized for preparing multiple plaster molds. With the high-durability of this tooling, hundreds of parts can be manufactured without any degradation. Hot metal is poured into the plaster mold soon after it is heated and cured. This helps fill in the thin walls and achieve the geometrical shape far better than from a sand molding.
