Not every project needs to move directly into injection molding.
Urethane casting provides a practical option for producing low volumes of functional parts for development, testing, and specialty applications.
With engineering and manufacturing expertise under one roof, DWE can help determine how these parts fit into the larger product development process and what comes next.
Urethane Casting Capabilities
Whether you need parts to evaluate a design or have a specialty application with limited production requirements, DWE can develop a solution around your project.
Polyurethane & Silicone Casting
Produce molded parts using polyurethane and silicone processes based on the requirements of your application
Low-Volume & Specialty Work
We work with limited production runs and specialty work. Urethane casting is a natural fit for customers who need smaller quantities without sacrificing engineering support.
Functional Prototypes
Create physical components that allow your team to evaluate a product before committing to production tooling.
Pre-Production Parts
Produce parts for development and pre-production needs as your product moves closer to manufacturing.
Engineering Validation Parts
Create components for engineering evaluation, testing, and validation before finalizing the production process.
Test the Product Before You Scale It
Moving too quickly from design into production tooling can make changes expensive.
Urethane casting gives engineering teams an opportunity to work with physical parts earlier in the process. Components can be used to evaluate the design and support testing before transitioning into a larger production program.
DWE’s engineering team can support that process from:
Design
Prototype
Evaluation
Validation
Production
A Path From Development to Production
When you’re ready to scale, you shouldn’t have to start over with a new manufacturing partner.
DWE can support the progression from urethane cast development parts into custom tooling and plastic injection molding, with engineering expertise available throughout the transition.
Our broader production capabilities include:
Custom mold design
20–600 ton injection molding
30 injection molding machines
Insert molding and overmolding
Assembly and integration
Plastic part finishing
That gives your team a partner capable of supporting both the immediate development need and the longer-term manufacturing program.
