Zagnat custom project services
Silicone Mold Prototypes and 3D Printed Masters
Plan the master and the mold together. Zagnat reviews design and printed-master work for silicone-mold projects, with the casting material and intended quantity defined before production.
A smooth master is only one part of the process
The model needs a release strategy as well as the desired shape. Undercuts, parting surfaces, registration and wall thickness can affect how a mold is made and used. The chosen master material, surface treatment and silicone must be compatible. Describe your planned process so the quote can separate modeling, printing, finishing and any mold-production work.
Projects to discuss
- A printed positive master prepared for a mold-making workflow.
- Digital revisions to an existing master or cavity design.
- A prototype to discuss fit, handling and parting geometry.
What to send with your request
- Reference geometry, overall dimensions and the surfaces that need detail.
- The casting material, intended number of uses and release requirements.
- Whether you need a master, a prototype or additional production work.
Include the deadline and explain any uncertain requirements. A complete brief helps separate design work, digital deliverables, physical production and delivery arrangements.
From your brief to an agreed result
- Review the desired cast object and process.
- Agree the master geometry, finish and handling features.
- Check the prototype against the agreed use before production.
Zagnat has a $200 project minimum. It is not a fixed price for every job. Source quality, geometry, size, quantity, finishing and the requested deliverable affect the quote. Feasibility, scope and timing are confirmed for the actual project.

Questions about this service
Does a 3D print come ready for silicone molding?
Not automatically. Surface preparation and material compatibility may require additional work.
Can a two-part mold be considered?
Include the object geometry and proposed parting line so the design can be reviewed.
Are food-contact molds included?
Food-contact use needs a specifically suitable final material and process. It is not implied by a printed master.
Can I supply my own design?
Yes. Include its units, dimensions and intended mold-making process.
