rubber mold

Bendable shaping cavity

A rubber mold is a flexible casting form made from silicone, latex, or other elastic materials, used to shape liquid or semi-solid substances into specific forms.

Unlike rigid molds, rubber molds can stretch and bend, making it easier to release finished pieces without damage—especially useful for objects with undercuts or intricate details: She poured resin into the rubber mold to make jewelry pendants.
