Application overview
Making flexible molds with the Mayku Multiplier
Pressure forming with EVA material enables speedy, flexible mold creation for casting with other materials. This is beneficial for manufacturers across industries, as it enables them to manufacture flexible, shock-absorbent parts. Additionally, it facilitates the creation of intricate shapes and designs to meet specific product needs.
The key benefits of using the Multiplier:
- Take full control of the prototyping cycle
- Manufacture end-use or customized parts in-house
- Reduce out-sourcing costs and lead time
- Reduced tooling costs due to the elimination of the need for expensive molds
- Use validated engineering materials for functional components
Application considerations
There are some key considerations when making molds with the Mayku Multiplier
Template design
We recommend using 0.75mm air holes, draft angles of at least 8º on all sides, and using a female mold for maximum detail
Template manufacturing
Manufacturing the templates with SLA 3D printing offers great flexibility and template quality for short production runs
Template smoothing
The Multiplier picks up all texture, so it’s recommended to clean up every detail in post-processing and smooth the surface to increase the final part transparency
Choosing EVA material
EVA is an ideal material for mold-making due to its flexibility, strength, and tear resistance
EVA part removal
Use scissors or a knife to trim away any excess material
Holding the mold in place
Consider adding self-aligning features to the mold and creating a fixture to firmly hold it in place, thus preventing leaks.
