Mold Making

 At ART Research Enterprises, we specialize in traditional silicone and rubber mold making techniques that capture even the most nuanced surface qualities of an original work.

Whether working from clay, plaster, foam, or an existing object, we carefully evaluate each piece to determine the most appropriate molding approach. Our team builds custom mold systems designed for accuracy, durability, and repeatability—supporting everything from one-off castings to limited editions.

We work with a range of silicone and urethane rubber materials, selecting the right system based on the geometry, surface sensitivity, and intended casting process. Each mold is constructed with attention to seam placement, registration, and structural support to ensure clean wax pulls and consistent results.

Because mold making is directly tied to the final outcome, we approach it with both technical precision and respect for the artist’s hand. The goal is always the same: to faithfully translate the original into a mold that performs reliably throughout production.
