PhotonCast!: Rapid UV Resin Casting, On Demand
PhotonCast! turns your design concepts into tangible parts in under a minute, all without expensive tooling or long lead times
Instant UV Resin Solidification
• Utilizes UV-curable resin that hardens almost instantly under UV light
• UV-transparent molds let light penetrate fully, ensuring uniform curing
• Typical cycle time: pour, cure, eject—60 seconds from start to finish
Effortless, Low-Cost Accurate Molds
• Creating molds is easy! Model your part in clay or, using the included software design and 3D-print your model or mold pattern
• No setup fees, no machining costs—easily prepare a new mold anytime
How PhotonCast Works
1. Craft your part master in clay or design it in CAD for 3D printing.
2. Use silicone rubber to surround your part or fill your mold pattern. Let the silicone rubber cure, then release the part master or mold pattern to create a mold
3. Pour the UV resin into the mold.
4. Insert the mold into PhotonCast! and press “Start.”
5. In 60 seconds, remove the fully cured part—ready for drilling, sanding, or assembly
Scale Up Without Risk
• Prototype dozens of versions for product validation
• Create small batches of customized parts or replacement components as needed
• Remove minimum order requirements and unexpected tooling costs
Turn every spark of creativity into real revenue.
Get PhotonCast today and shape your future—minute by minute.

My Story!
After earning my Physics degree from UCLA, I shifted my focus to product development
Customers would bring me their ideas, even just sketches on napkins, and I turned them into reality. I created CAD models, provided detailed drawings, printed prototypes, machined necessary parts, and assisted with patent work. It was very fulfilling to see my customers go into business and succeed doing sales. I used 3d printing extensively and was a very early adopter. I purchased my first (and by no means my last) 3d printer way back in 2013. A SeemeCNC Rostock Max V1
Bought it back in the days when tweaking and modifying were the norm. Learned so much about the ins and outs of 3D printing. Still have it and still creating awesome stuff!
Of course, once you have one you must have another, and another, and another!My 3D-printed prototypes were fully functional and only took a few days each to complete, which was a big improvement over earlier methods. However, due to the cost and the time required to print the parts, they proved to be impractical when the customer returned with a request for thousands of units
After getting countless requests for small parts runs, I started thinking, “I need to address this. I have great customers who need affordable plastic parts quickly to bring their businesses to life.”
Realizing that producing a small batch of plastic parts was not only prohibitively expensive but also required several months of lead time, I needed to come up with a creative solution
Why not consider UV curing resin? With its vast range of options, UV curing resins rival and even exceed the variety and capabilities of traditional thermoplastics, making it a great alternative to bypass the constraints of regular injection molding
Coming up with a great idea and turning it into reality are two very challenging tasks. Great ideas are more common than you might think; people have them all the time. But having the determination and perseverance to bring those ideas to life is an uncommon and highly valuable trait
The first step in bringing a great idea to life is sharing it with the public to see if it resonates with others who may not be familiar with it. Events like the Rocky Mountain RepRap Festival and the Midwest RepRap Festival are perfect for this. They gather people and potential customers who can check out your product, ask questions, and offer valuable feedback to help refine it
This is an early version of PhotonCast! showcased at the Midwest RepRap Festival 2022. In the initial designs, the mold was rotated with the intention of evenly illuminating it to achieve a uniform wall thickness
Never content and always striving for better, I incorporated your fantastic suggestions to significantly enhance PhotonCast! by enclosing the rotating structure and upgrading the electronics and built-in software. Just in time for the 2023 Rocky Mountain RepRap Festival!
With great suggestions from visitors and friends at the Rocky Mountain RepRap Festival, I experimented with an improved design that eliminated the need for rotation while maintaining uniform wall thickness. By using a 360-degree bath of specially tuned UV light to illuminate the curing chamber, I achieved consistent curing without needing to rotate the mold, which reduced both cost and complexity!
And now, I present to you!
With your excellent suggestions, after five years of hard work, countless hours of dedication, and overcoming significant financial and personal challenges, PhotonCast is finally here! Get yours today!
