Workflow
Manufacturing Tire Molds with UnionTech in 6 Steps
Save costs and time by adopting 3D printing to produce durable and precise tire molds, ready for mass production.
01
3D Printing
A master pattern is created for silicone molding. The model is produced with the Xtyre 005 material durable enough to withstand CNC machining.
02
Silicone Molding
Silicone model is used to create a negative mold of the master pattern. This process involves injecting or pouring a plastic material into the negative cavities.
03
Plaster Molding
The plastic models, created from the silicone molding process, are coated with plaster to form molds suitable for metal casting.
04
Metal Casting
Molten material (usually metal, such as aluminum or steel) is poured into the plaster mold to create the tire mold.
05
Machining
The metal mold surface is processed using CNC machining to improve the final product's surface quality.
06
Splicing
The individual cast models are joined to form a single, unified tire mold, creating the final product.
