Moulding & Casting
Moulding and casting is one of the oldest ways to turn ideas into physical objects, and it’s still one of the most versatile. At its simplest, you create a mould, essentially a negative impression of your design, and then fill it with another material to reproduce the shape. The technique works as well for jewellery charms as it does for tabletop dice, cosplay props, or batches of identical parts.
Why is this important?
In our workshop, moulding and casting sits between handmade craft and industrial production. It allows us to make highly detailed, durable pieces without the need for huge factory tooling or high minimum orders.
​
Because we design and cut moulds in-house, we can create prototypes quickly, test unusual inclusions, and scale up production once you’re satisfied with the result.
This is the method behind much of what we do: dice, resin charms, collectible tokens, even packaging components. By working directly with silicone and resin, we keep full control of the process, which means you get flexibility and consistency without being tied to mass-manufacture.
TYPES OF MOULDS
Block moulds
- Straightforward, single-sided moulds used for flat items like tokens, plaques, or decorative panels.
One-piece closed moulds
- Ideal for dice and small objects where every surface needs to be crisp. These moulds cure a complete piece with minimal seam lines.
Two-part moulds
- Used for objects with complex shapes, hollow sections, or undercuts. Perfect for figures, props, or anything three-dimensional that can’t be pulled from a single mould.
Insert moulds
- Built to hold inclusions inside the cast—flowers, foil, glitter, charms, or even liquid cores. Lets us create layered or suspended effects.
Multi-cavity moulds
- Designed for efficiency, these produce several identical pieces at once. Useful for larger retail runs where consistency matters.
CASTING MATERIALS
-
Resin: clear, coloured, layered, filled, or glow-in-the-dark options.
-
Silicone: for detailed and flexible moulds.
-
Composites: resin combined with wood, textiles, or metals for hybrid builds.
Moulding and casting is the link between an idea and a reliable product. You can test a design cheaply, produce samples for feedback, and then run batches at whatever scale you need. It’s how we bridge the gap between handmade artistry and practical production.
