There are three ways to open silicone molds: brush molding, pouring molding and encapsulation molding. So how to judge which mold opening method is best for replicating your product? In fact, this is tricky. Let’s analyze this issue in detail below.

Choosing a suitable mold opening method is to facilitate demoulding and accurately copy the master model to ensure the overall simulation effect.

Before making a choice, we can divide the master mold of the model into two situations, one with complex and uneven texture, and the other with a relatively simple, relatively smooth and regular overall shape. From here we can easily distinguish between them. There are two ways to open the mold. Therefore, if the size is large and the pattern is complex and fine, it is better to choose the brush mold (slice mold) method. If the surface texture is simple, smooth and regular, it is better to choose the pouring mold or the encapsulation mold. mode. Another reminder: Infusion molds generally use softer silicone because it is easier to demould and will not damage the master mold inside the silicone mold.
