Does anyone know how Urethane bodykits are made?
Wednesday, September 07, 2005 6:30 PM
Is it like a two piece injected mold or is it just a 1 side mold that is like sprayed or painted on like a fiberglass one? Just wondering because I am very interested in making a Combat kit for my cavy out of urethane.

Thanks guys! (Hopefully this is in the correct forum)

Injection molded from what I know. Do a search for injection molding, not something someone could do without pricey equiptment. Urethane I believe is melted and then injected into a mold.

In injection molding, plastic granules are heated and "injected" under pressure into metal molds, where the molten plastic hardens into a designated shape. The mold then opens and the newly formed part is removed and inspected, ready for shipment or secondary manufacturing operations. Injection molding is an extremely versatile and popular form of molding. Other processes include extrusion, thermoforming, and blow molding.
