resin casting

Liquid plastic molding

Resin casting is a manufacturing technique where liquid resin is poured into a mold and allowed to harden, producing solid objects.

Hobbyists use it for jewelry, figurines, and decorative items; industrial applications include prototypes and replacement parts.

The resin typically cures through chemical reaction rather than heat: She learned resin casting to make custom dice.
