Create Master Molds At Benchside​

At CADworks3D, we provide a complete 3D printing system that makes it easy for researchers to create high-resolution master molds—right at the bench. There is no need for cleanroom access or complicated fabrication steps. Just 4 simple steps : CAD, Pour, Print and Clean.  You can have a functional mold ready within a day.

Our complete 3D printing system is powered by the ProFluidics 285d, an advanced 3D printer built specifically for microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip devices, and biomedical research. It offers reliable performance, sharp feature resolution, and full compatibility with standard CAD software. This all-in-one solution simplifies microfabrication, speeds up prototyping, and brings precision manufacturing into any lab setting.

4 Simple Steps

Create master molds at Benchside in 1 day.

01 – CAD

Create your master molds using CAD software.

No CAD Experience? We have a solution.

02 – Pour

Print the master molds using our exclusive 3D materials and 3D printer.

03 – Print

Print your master molds with confidence, using the Master Mold for PDMS Photopolymer and a CADworks3D printer.

04 – Clean

Post-processing involves a quick and easy cleaning and curing of the master molds.

Master Mold for PDMS - Rapid HD

Print 50µm Open Channels
Confidently print master molds with precise channels as fine as 50µm in the XY. Push the limits in design by integrating macro and micro-sized features onto one mold; or take advantage of vertical space by creating multi-depth features with ease.
0.18µm Ra Value Master Molds
Master molds exhibit an exceptional surface finish with a 0.18µm Ra value. This reflects in an optically clear PDMS device, ensures proper bonding to the chosen substrate, and preventing leaking during testing.
Non-Cytotoxic PDMS Devices
When casting PDMS onto the printed master molds, no cytotoxic residual material is transferred, making the Master Mold for PDMS resin biocompatible and suitable for cell culture applications
Device Durability Reuse Master Molds
Printed master molds are able to withstand the temperatures of a conventional lab oven without the loss of printed features. A single master mold can be used several times to cast PDMS devices up to 500 times with the appropriate care.
1-Day Workflow Fast Iterations
A typical master mold can be printed in 1-3 hours (size dependent). Post-print processing is as simple as cleaning the part in isopropyl alcohol and curing for 40 minutes under a UV light. PDMS can be casted directly onto the master mold without any salinization or release agents, and cured in a lab oven at 70°C / 158°F for 3 hours.
