Thanks to the possibility of generating silicone moulds, using stereolithographically made pieces as MASTERS, and the subsequent casting of resins, further possibilities are opened up for covering your rapid prototyping needs.

Thus, for instance:

Resin vacuum castings can be made in mechanical imitation of the most relevant characteristics of the most commonly used technical plastics, thus making it possible to carry out tests that are closer to the real conditions.

It is likewise possible to create high-quality pieces in which priority is given to such characteristics as resistance to high temperatures, or obtain translucent, transparent pieces or pieces of a specific colour or hardness. (ShoreA).

It can be an interesting economic alternative if one has to have a small pre-series of pieces (as a general value, the maximum is 25 replicas per mould).
