Gree-Ge gives you the best price and utmost precision when it comes to casting parts. They are highly flexible, durable, and detailed with a fast turnaround time. Our urethane casting offers plastic properties which is ideal for functional prototypes and small production runs. Silicone casting is great for high precision molds and flexible components. We help manufacturers of automotive, medical, and consumer products achieve superior mechanical performance and aesthetic quality with our wide range of material options.
Urethane and silicone casting process involves the casting of silicone rubber, polyurethane, and epoxy resins into master models which are replicated as highly accurate copies. The use of urethane resins helps to make strong, functional, plastic-like parts which are further enhanced by silicone casting for soft, flexible, or high-detail components. Perfect for low-volume production, rapid prototyping, and even custom parts production.
Description | Tolerance Notes |
---|---|
Distance Dimensions | +/- 0.010” or +/- 0.003” per inch, whichever is larger, is typical. Irregular or overly-thick geometries may cause deviances or deflection due to shrinkage. |
Shrink Mitigation | A shrinkage rate of +0.15% can be expected due to thermal expansion of the liquid, and the response of the flexible mold. |
Surface Quality | Surface finish is externally smoothed to a satin or matte surface. Grow lines may be present on internal or difficult-to-access features. Polishing or custom finishes must be clearly defined and agreed upon at the point of order. |
Feature Definition | Sharp corners and text may appear slightly rounded. |
Size Recommendation | We can offer urethane cast parts as large as 30” (0.762 m) long. |

Urethane and Silicone Casting provides budget-friendly and flexible prototyping and batch manufacturing accompanied by exceptional surface quality. The team at Gree-Ge manages both methods well as they assist numerous industry clients speedily achieve product reality.
The crucial need for faster production schedules and lowered development expenditures exists in current market conditions especially for prototype manufacture and small batch manufacturing.
For this purpose, Gree-Ge stands above other services because we provide casting solutions with rock-solid precision and flawless consistency as well as polished surface quality. Our urethane and silicone casting services accelerate product development from design phase through manufacturing production regardless of new product development or existing design refinement.
Liquid polyurethane resins form solid part prototype molds through urethane casting which is also known as polyurethane casting using silicone molds. Users select urethane casting for both prototype development along with production runs up to a medium scale because it offers adjustable material attributes including hardness and color and mechanical properties.
Silicone casting utilizes silicone rubber as itself a mold technology and as an end product material. Silicone rubber provides two casting functions since it allows you to construct moldings for both different resin types (such as urethanes) and low-temp metals. Silicone rubber serves as the last material to produce elastic heat-resistant components that are also biocompatible through liquid silicone injection into custom molds.
Below is a concise table illustrating some key distinctions between urethane and silicone casting when they’re used as final part materials:
Feature | Urethane | Silicone |
Hardness Range | Wide range (shore A to shore D) | Typically softer, more elastic |
Heat Resistance | Moderate (can degrade at high temps) | Excellent (maintains form under heat) |
Chemical Resistance | Good to excellent (depends on formula) | Very good, especially to water & UV |
Typical Applications | Prototypes, functional housings, gears | Seals, medical devices, consumer goods |
Cost & Availability | Affordable in various formulations | Generally higher cost, specialty grades |
Gree-Ge brings together experts with extensive experience in material choice and mold creation knowledge as a foundation for our services. Our team makes a selection between urethane and silicone casting methods to deliver products which match every specified standard.
Gree-Ge continues to invest in its high-end molding equipment which results in precise casts and fast delivery speeds. The company operates casting stations with temperature control alongside vacuum degassing chambers for comprehensive service.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Through our material sourcing abilities combined with custom mixing services we can provide you with any polyurethane blend strength or medical-grade silicone formulation you require.
Our detailed quality assurance system allows you to receive parts that fulfill your criteria involving dimensions alongside surface finish quality and mechanical operational capabilities through mold evaluation and cure testing stages.
Our services accommodate the manufacture of only a few prototype quantities. Or perhaps a few hundred parts for a limited product run? No problem. We operate with flexibility which gives us the capability to adjust production scale to meet specific requirements.

They’re ideal for sectors needing low-to-medium volume parts, like consumer electronics, medical devices, and automotive.
Urethane offers strength and varied hardness; silicone excels in flexibility, heat resistance, and biocompatibility.
Yes. We can tint or pigment both materials to achieve specific colors.
Any finish that matches the master mold—polished, matte, or textured.
Urethane molds often produce 20–50+ parts; silicone mold longevity varies, but we estimate before starting.
