With over 50 years of expertise, we have developed a comprehensive procedure that simplifies Impression Taking, making it as straightforward as child’s play.
Clean your part from residus
Residual grease, dust, or other substances can hinder the polymerization and accuracy of the impression. It is essential to eliminate them using a degreaser approved by Plastiform.
Take the Impression
After ensuring the part is clean and dry, install the cartridges and proceed to take the impression using the necessary accessories. Opt to fill either the entire part or just the specific section requiring measurement.
Wait and Extract the replica
Plastiform products are designed to be extracted from shapes that can cause significant deformations.
The impressions return to their original shape without alteration and retain their shape memory.
Simplify Measurement with the Double Blade Cutter
Impressions can be challenging to position accurately on measuring devices. This is why you can use the Double Blade Cutter to slice them and measure a crosse section of your replica.
Measure your impressions and never bother again about part destruction or dismantlement
The easiest way to step away from destructive control.
With Plastiform it is not anymore required to destroy some parts to check for their dimensions. Just take an impression and measure the dimensions in it.
Cost-effective, yet super accurate and compatible with all devices.
Plastiform Impressions possess micron-level resolution, enabling the replication of part dimensions with an accuracy of ± 1 µm.
Clean, Safe, Durable. Shape memory & no Shrinkage.
Replicating a part is safe, and the impressions can be disposed of using the regular waste system. They can also be preserved for years for archival purposes.
Trusted and Loved by globally recognized brands

Control the Dimensions of Your Parts Without Any Worries
Cost EffectiveA control using Plastiform costs, on average, less than $5, making it one of the most cost-effective methods for non-destructive dimensional inspections.
No ShrinkageDuring polymerization, Plastiform does not lose any volume, ensuring the preservation of internal dimensions throughout the entire process.
Fast and EasyConducting a control with Plastiform is fast and simple, taking under 10 minutes and requiring no technical skills, making it an efficient, user-friendly solution.
Safe and CleanPlastiform products can be used without special precautions, and the impressions can be disposed of through regular waste processes.
Shape Retention MemoryThe impression retains its shape and dimensions, even when significantly stretched during extraction.
Micron ResolutionPlastiform products reproduce all details of a part with precision better than 1 micron, making them the most accurate replicas available on the market.
Which product should I use to control dimensions of my part?
Every application and every part are different. This is why we developed the Plastiform Finder, which can help you find the right product after asking you some questions about the context. Use it or contact us to find the best product !
Are all products compatible with the Double Blade Cutter ?
No. The double blade cutter can only cut semi-flexible impressions. You can check on the label and the technical sheet if the product you are interest in is usable with the Cutter.
Where can I download Safety Data Sheets for this products ?
All the MSDS are available on the product dedicated page, just bellow the gallery of picture. You can also find them on the dedicated page.
How to clean the injection material after taking the impression ?
You don’t need to clean the material. The nozzle is going to trash and the tip is reusable after extracting the polymerized material inside it.
What is the purpose of the Double Blade Cutter?
The Cutter has been specially developed to facilitate the use of Plastiform impressions. It allows a slice to be cut in the axis of an impression in order to exploit its profile more easily on optical measuring instruments. It is customizable according to your needs.
What is the purpose of Plastin?
It is an industrial modeling clay that can be used as a replacement for conventional modeling clay. It is dedicated to industry, so it is permanently reusable and leaves no traces.
What is the smallest diameter at which these products can be effectively used?
For very small diameters (< 5mm), it’s best to use a liquid product and make a full impression. However, there is no minimum diameter. Use needle nozzles if you need more precision when pouring the product.
Don’t take our words for it
There is thousands of people using Plastiform every single day
“The Plastiform worked very well. We find it helpful to capture the condition of inaccessible features on injection molded parts and tooling. I like the large variety of your products that are not available from competitors. The different viscosities and hardness levels are very helpful.”
