Spin casting
Spin casting is a process by which molds are used to make small parts. This can be done with many different media, from bronze to chocolate. The molds are typically vulcanized silicon.
A mold is made in a conventional way, which varies from one medium to the next. The medium itself may be mixed with a special solvent. It is then poured into the mold. The mold is then spun, or more accurately “tumbled”, so that the liquid is spread around the entire inside, evenly, using centrifugal force.
