The accuracy of silicone replica molds can usually reach 0.1-0.2mm.
Silicone replica molding is a commonly used prototype production process. It makes a prototype, then makes a silicone mold under vacuum conditions, and uses PU, ABS and other materials for casting, thereby cloning a replica that is identical to the original prototype. This process has the advantages of mold-free, low production cost, and fast molding speed, and is suitable for small batch customization and rapid prototype development. Its advantages are as follows:
High precision: Silicone replica molds can produce replicas that are very close to the original models. The assembly accuracy can be as high as ¡À0.1mm, which can meet the assembly requirements of most products.
High degree of simulation: Because the silicone mold can accurately replicate the details and texture of the prototype, the surface of the final replica will maintain a high degree of consistency with the original.

Material diversity: Silicone replica molds can use a variety of materials, such as ABS, PC, PP, PA, etc., to meet different application needs.
Process flexibility: Depending on the complexity and special requirements of the prototype, you can choose CNC processing or SLA (stereolithography) to produce the prototype.
In general, silicone replica molding is an efficient and economical production process, especially suitable for rapid iteration and small batch production in the prototype product development process.
