    Question Mold made out of Plastic

    I'm a newbie, please excuse my lack of knowledge.

    Is it possible to create a temporary injection mold out of plastic? If so, what material would be best?

    If not, is it possible to create a pourable, silicone mold out of plastic?


    My goal at the moment is to prototype a design out of silicone.

    Any advice is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance!

    Try these places.

    Smooth-On, Inc. - Mold Making & Casting Materials Rubber, Plastic, Lifecasting, and More

    Mold Making Videos - Silicone Rubber, Urethane Casting Resin, & more

    Home Plastic Injection Molding with an Epoxy Mold.

    This should head you in the right direction.

    If you decide to try casting instead of injection try machining your mold out of polypropylene. It makes quality parts and doesn't require any mold release agent.
