High Temp SLA Mold

Rapid Mold Manufacturing for Prototyping & Low-Volume Production

Traditional mold fabrication—whether CNC machining or metal tooling—can be slow, expensive, and impractical for small production runs. With high-temperature SLA 3D printing, we can now produce precise, durable molds in a fraction of the time and cost, making it ideal for prototyping, low-volume manufacturing, and specialty parts.

At 3D Labs by Technotronic Futuristics, we manufacture fully functional high-temp resin molds that deliver exceptional detail reproduction, thermal performance, and dimensional stability. These molds are suitable for casting silicones, wax, low-temperature thermoplastics, and specialized industrial materials.

What Makes High-Temp SLA Resin Ideal for Mold Making?

High-temperature SLA materials are formulated to withstand elevated thermal loads, resist warping, and maintain dimensional accuracy during casting. Key benefits include:

These qualities make high-temp SLA a reliable substitute for aluminum or steel tooling in many applications.
