Dear Yakov and all,
I was engaged in developing this system in Japan. You can mold the
parts as much as with the conventional vacuum casting, like 20 pcs.
We recommend to use UV curing urethane so that people can make both mold and
part by UV light.
UV urethane is cured in 10 minutes and UV silicone can be cured in 30
minutes, both are single component and pod life is unlimited.
Both material brings you the easier process and higher accuracy but are
expensive so we recommend to use transparent RTV silicone with using UV
urethane.
You can contact for more details with
ktashiro@worldnet.att.net
in US.
Thanks
