*A ROTACASTER is the machine that aids RotaCasting.
Rotacasting is how the pros make hollow plastic parts for cosplay props that are cast out of resin or wax or even chocolate! — and it’s easy to do at home.
Your silicone mould, supported by it’s fibreglass jacket, is suspended inside a gyroscope mechanism or RotaCaster and liquid resin is poured in.
The mould is plugged shut and then it is rotated by the RotaCaster through 1080 variations of rotation so that the liquid resin flows around all the surfaces inside the mould before it sets hard.
The process can be repeated to build up the desired wall thickness.
RotaCasting also helps remove air bubbles and can save considerable amounts of material and material costs.

** You may be able to power it with an electric drill or electric motor modification of your own BUT we do not advise or endorse such modification.

Rotacaster or Rotacaster or Rotary Casting, there’s a lot of ways to describe these Rota machines but they all work well and save your arms from heavy repetitive labour.
