A 3D-printed master, cast in Vario 15
The bear was designed in 3D and printed as a master. At Shore A 15, Vario 15 is soft enough to release fine detail without tearing, and it stays translucent so you can see the master while you pour. The 150-minute pot life makes a mould this size possible by hand.

Before you use it for food: Wacker confirms compliance for food contact, but the mould then still needs a 2–3 hour post-cure at 100–140 °C to fully outgas. Responsibility for the end product lies with whoever makes it. All the details are on the product page.
Note: platinum silicone is inhibited by sulphur, nitrogen, amines and metal salts, including some 3D printing resins. Do a small test on your master first.
