The Resin Casting Process
Our process begins with a thorough discussion of your ideas and the possibilities available to ensure your project turns out exactly as envisioned.
Whether you have physical maquettes or digital designs, we can use our advanced 3D scanning equipment or modelling software to kickstart the design process.
Once that is done, we can create a master pattern tailored to your requirements and scale. This master pattern is then utilised to make the silicone mould, laying the foundation for the final product.
Materials We Work With
We predominantly use the following resins and materials:
- Polyurethane Resin
- Epoxy Resin
- Jesmonite
Whether you have a specific material in mind or you would like to discuss some options with our knowledgeable staff, contact our team who are on-hand to assist you and will ensure that your project is no less than perfect.
Creative freedom
At Penta Pattern & Model, we pride ourselves on offering our clients full creative freedom throughout the resin casting process. Our knowledgeable team is flexible and works closely with you to achieve outstanding results. You are always welcome at our workshop and can even participate in the process, mixing colours and adding details to personalise your pieces.
Detail can be incorporated either before casting, by encapsulating elements within the resin, or after casting with our wide range of finishes.
We are continually developing innovative ways to encapsulate natural and waste products, creating captured moments and promoting sustainability by reducing and reusing waste materials.
Materials, pigments and paints
We offer a variety of materials, pigments, and paints to enhance your resin projects. These include, but are not limited to:
- Gold leaf
- Foils
- Paint
- Metallic shimmer powders
By topping these textures with optically clear resin, we can create stunning pieces of artwork. You can choose from translucent, pigmented, or opaque designs to suit your vision. The possibilities for different textures are endless. Simply contact us, and one of our experts will advise you and share a full sample list.
Resin Finishes
After the resin casting stage, you can select from a wide variety of finishes for your project, including:
- Polished and unpolished
- Lacquered
- Sprayed and metal-sprayed
- Deliberately added defects
Other finishes and textures are also achievable, so do not hesitate to contact us with your ideas. For further details on the available finishes, please visit our Materials and Finishes page.
