Reusable Mould Material

Applications for the reusable mould material:

It is used as a pourable mould material to make moulds for casting polyurethane, epoxy, concrete, soap, chocolate, and other materials. It is often used instead of thermosetting silicone, which is a single-use material. The reusable mould material can dramatically lower the cost of experiments and small-quantity moulding.

More information:

It can be heated in a microwave. The material can be re-melted to form new moulds up to 35 times. There are variants of the material with different hardnesses and a variant that is safe for food contact. The manufacturer does not disclose what the material is made from, but it is probably based on gelatin and glycerin.

Inspiration for new applications:

Use the material to reduce the cost of moulding parts for customised prostheses.
