Resin Casting

Penta Pattern & Model’s resin department has over 30 years of experience in resin casting, enabling us to create a wide variety of bespoke products, small and large, for our customers.

The resins and materials we predominantly work with are:

  • Polyurethane Resin
  • Epoxy Resin
  • Jesmonite

Our highly skilled team will start off the process by spending time with you discussing your ideas and the possibilities available to ensure that your project comes out exactly as you envisioned it.

Then we will take your physical maquette’s and use our 3D scanning equipment to scan the object or take your digital designs and then model them to your requirements and scale in order to create a master pattern for the job. The master is then used to make the silicone mould.

Creative freedom

Our knowledgeable team are flexible and can work with you throughout the resin casting process to achieve great results. You are welcome at the workshop at any time and can also come and get stuck in with us! Our facility allows you to have full creative freedom so you are able to do things like mix colours and add details to give your pieces that personalised touch.

Detail can be applied either before the casting process by encapsulating elements within the resin or applied after with our wide range of finishes. We are also developing ways of encapsulating natural and waste products to create captured moments and reduce / reuse waste materials.

Materials, pigments and paints

There are a number of different materials, pigments and paints available for you to use alongside resin. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Gold leaf
  • Foils
  • Paint
  • Metallic shimmer powders

Topping these textures with optically clear resin can create truly stunning pieces of artwork. You can also have translucent, pigmented or opaque designs.

Different textures can be achieved upon request, the possibilities are endless! Just contact us and one of our experts can advise you and share a full sample list with you.
