Materials:
A transparent sheet material that remains flexible after it has been formed. This flexibilty improves the de-moulding experience and enables users to incorporate small undercuts and vertical walls into their designs. It’s natural softness makes it perfect for picking up very fine detail and high resolution textures.
A transparent and food-safe sheet ideal for making reusable moulds. The non-stick nature and high impact strength of these rigid sheets allow for easy de-moulding. Perfect for making custom food moulds and product packaging.
A versatile sheet that delivers smooth white satin forms. Great for electrical product casings, product packaging and final parts. This material can also be used for casting into but not recommended for repeat applications.
