castable acrylic
(OP)
Does anyone know a good resource for casting acrylic prototypes? I'm making a durable optically clear dome, and would like to use RTV tooling at this point in the product development process.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: castable acrylic
Normally, Acrylic Domes are manufactured through either Injection molding or Thermoforming. I know of only one company that can Thermoform a dome and get it right. There is a narrow window to work with when forming Acrylic in that manner. I do not offer any casting process for Acrylic Domes. If you change your mind about the casting process, let me know.
