WHY URETHANE CASTINGS VERSUS INJECTED MOLDED OR PRESSURE/THERMO/VACUUM FORMED PRODUCTS?
[TOP] Most designs simulate the plasterwork of artisans. In fact, in the model making process, we often create plaster castings. Injection molded products are made by melting a plastic, such as polystyrene, and injecting it into a closed steel mold. Due to high mold development costs in this process, it is impractical to offer a large variety of designs. Also, undercuts, which are impractical when using injection molding or thermoforming, add to the beauty and authentic look and are part of many Arctel designs. Pressure/Thermo/Vacuum formed products are made from sheet material that results in product that lacks the quality look of the Arctel casting process.
