2. Spin casting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_casting

   Typically, a disc-shaped mold is spun along its central axis at a set speed. The casting material, usually molten metal or liquid thermoset plastic, is then poured in through an opening at the top-center of the mold. The filled mold then continues to spin as the metal (or thermoset plastic) solidifies.

3. RTV silicone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTV_silicone

   For this reason, silicone molds are suitable for casting low-melt metals and alloys (e.g. zinc, tin, pewter, and Wood's metal). RTV silicone rubbers are, however, generally expensive – especially platinum-cure. They are also sensitive to substances (sulfur-containing modelling clay such as Plastilina, for example) that may prevent the ...

4. Resin casting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resin_casting

   The molds are commonly half-divided (like the hollowed chocolate Easter eggs with candy inside) and a release agent may be used to make removal of the hardened/set resin from the mold easier. The hardened resin casting is removed from the flexible mold and allowed to cool. A Baldwin 6-axle locomotive kit cast in resin in HO Scale

5. Silicone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone

   Silicone caulk can be used as a basic sealant against water and air penetration. In organosilicon and polymer chemistry, a silicone or polysiloxane is a polymer composed of repeating units of siloxane (−O−R 2 Si−O−SiR 2 −, where R = organic group). They are typically colorless oils or rubber-like substances. Silicones are used in ...

6. Release agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_agent

   The matrix is created by the other ingredients in the semi-permanent mold release. Applications of semi-permanent mold release vary from every cycle to once daily applications depending on the compound being molded and the design and quality of the mold. Silicone-based rubber products, however, require a non-silicone based releasing agent.

7. Molding (process) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molding_(process)

   A mold or mould is a hollowed-out block that is filled with a liquid or pliable material such as plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic raw material. [2] The liquid hardens or sets inside the mold, adopting its shape. A mold is a counterpart to a cast. The very common bi-valve molding process uses two molds, one for each half of the object.
