Depends on what you want to make a mould of and what you want to cast into it. Several types are:
* Moulds of figures made with lots of undercuts are often made of soft plastic or latex that can be removed from the original and subsequent copies easily. The copies can be plaster or plastic
* Moulds made with the lost was method are one use only as they have to be broken off the copy. These moulds can be made of pressed sand or plaster. They are used for hot metal castings. * Moulds for blow moulding of glass or plastic bottles and products can be made of metal (for glass) or hardened plastic or metal of plastic. * Ancient sword makers would carve a mould for the rough shape of the sword in a flat rock and pour the bronze or iron into this mould. Cast Iron ornaments like fences can be produced by a similar method * Moulds for engine blocks are made of a sand/binder mixture and "frozen" into shape by te addition of a catalystic hardener
* Moulds for shaped cookies can be plastic or metal * Moulds for jellied desserts can be plastic, glass or metal * Moulds for auto body parts are made of steel. They are often called "dies" * Dental moulds for teeth and similar kit moulds for moulding children's hands etc. are made of a seaweed derivative

How are rubber ducks made?
Rubber ducks are made from a factory by machines. Rubber that has been dyed opaque yellow is poured into two moulds that are half a duck. To fill the moulds with PVC, they use a process called Rotational casting, or rotocasting. This is a process that allows the rubber duck to become hollow by slowly spinning the duck in a way that allows a very thin layer of the plastic to evenly coat the duck mould. These moulds are clapped together, fusing the rubber together, then it is put in a separate area to cool. Once cool, a plug is put at the bottom, and they are painted with water-proof paint. Then they are distributed and sold to retailers.
