Durable Prototypes

 PG606 is a durable, shock-resistant cast urethane. This option is best for multiples, or when molded-in color and texture are important.  Living hinges can be molded for a number of successful flexes, and this material has also been used successfully in products ranging from assembly and machining fixtures, to Frisbees and ski pole baskets.  The casting process does come with the expense of the master pattern and mold, so it's generally only cost effective for quantities higher than 5 or 6 pieces, compared to another direct-print method.  However it's the only process that can provide custom colors and textures, without the need for additional painting
