Autoclave

A chamber that applies controlled heat and pressure. In cast acrylic production, it can be used as part of the curing process.

Why it matters for embedments

Casting conditions affect both the acrylic and any graphics or objects placed inside it. Heat, pressure and material compatibility must be considered before an insert is approved.

A process, not a quality ranking

Acrylic casting and resin model production use different materials and methods. Neither should be described as automatically superior: the right choice depends on the intended appearance, construction and requirements.
