POLYURETHANE MANUFACTURING

Jasper Plastics is one of the larger manufacturers of molded polyurethane parts in the country.

Jasper Plastics is a leader in providing molded polyurethane parts as an alternative to traditionally manufactured wood, stone, and tile.  The Advantage of Jasper Plastics manufactured polyurethane parts is threefold:

• Consistency:

  Because our parts are created from a mold, each part we supply is identical to the rest.

   

• Cost:

  Because our parts are not made from limited resources and natural materials, we can supply you more economically.

   

• Weight:

  Polyurethane is a fraction of the weight when used to replace wood or stone products, yet will mimic the same texture and appearance.

   

IN THIS VIDEO…our customer wanted a fireplace insert that had raised stone of various heights on the front. Our artists created a design that the customer liked, and they told us to move forward. Because 3D printing is very time-consuming, it can be expensive, but since that Jasper has the ability to manufacture in several different types of materials, we utilized our Wide Format HD 3D printer to make a pattern and then created a silicon mold. Copies of that mold are seen in this video. Using our HD 3D printer to prototype the part we saved considerable time for the customer.  By utilizing polyurethane molding technology and then printing the design on the blanks, we save production time which translates into monetary savings for our customers.

Why we need to make a mold

A mold is what we use to form our polyurethane and fiberglass products. We use these molds in order to provide a uniform manufactured part to your exact specifications. Molds ensure that you will get the correct size, texture, and look each time that product is made with very little if any deviation.
