快速模具制造技术是一种全新的制造技术。硅橡胶模具的制作是快速模具制造技术中间接制模方法的一种。针对工艺品形状复杂，模具机加工困难的特点，介绍了硅橡胶模的特点，将RT技术应用到工艺品的模具制造过程中，实践证明：可以缩短模具开发周期，降低开发成本。

英文摘要：

Rapid Tooling （RT） technique is a new manufacturing technique. The manufacture of silicon rubber mould is one of indirect mould manufacturing methods of RT technique. The characteristics of silicon rubber mould were introduced in this paper, RT techniques was applied in the manufacturing of an artware mould because its complicated shape and the difficulty in mould machining. It has been proved by practice that the use of silicon mould could shorten development cycle and reduce development cost.
