PROTOMIX SYSTEM - a Vacuum Casting & Polyurethane
Injection machine for plastic part duplication.
Using silicone molding technology and high-precision
polyurethane injection, complex plastic components with
various mechanical properties can be produced within
hours.
The Protomix System is utilized for
the following two process steps:
- Vacuum casting of silicone to create a mold
- Injection of polyurethane under vacuum to produce
castings
