(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.

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.
