the master mold process

March 17, 2009 · Leave a Comment

in order to go from wax to vinyl we need to create a master mold · The principal chemical process involved in this is Au+CuSo4==electric==Cu+AuSo4 · about a week after implementing this process, the wax surface will enclose the Cu ion, and the master mold will be created · you’ll have to wait until next week to see how the vinyl came out · you can also get more information on the process, industry, etc. on an article titled “vinyl fantastical” published by computer arts from the UK ·  i do recommend anyone who likes vinyl designer toys to read the article · here’s an excerpt on how time-consuming this process can be ·

“Once the sculpts have been made and approved, the figures are painted and another round of approvals and corrections is conducted. Once the paint has been agreed, the paint masks and moulds are produced and the vinyl toys can start rolling off the production line. The process is rather slow, often quoted at six months from conception to the figures appearing in stores. This includes a month on a boat from China, which is where most of the figures are made…” (Computer Arts)
