Vacuum Casting
An essential tool for designers and engineers to visualize their concepts before mass production.
Vacuum Casting
Vacuum casting is a quick and low-cost prototyping technology, which uses a vacuum to draw a liquid material into a silicone mold to create complex components. Compared to other manufacturing methods, it is highly adaptable and versatile. For custom and small batch production, it is a best choice for manufacturers. The cost-effective aspect of this technology makes the production procedure easier and we have quite a lot of choices for plastic parts.
It is an essential tool for designers and engineers looking to visualize their concepts before mass production.
Features of Vacuum Casting
Fine detail reproduction
Cost-effective production
Many material options
Small batches
Durability
Fast turnaround time
Customizable to your project needs
Minimal tooling costs
High-quality surface finish
Materials
Depending on your applications, you can also create parts that are fully opaque or completely transparent. Polymers are available in a variety of hardness and surface texture combinations. Considering these two factors, thermoplastics, rubbers and resins can be used in vacuum casting as materials. All of them have the same specific properties and characteristics.
Advantages
Vacuum casting is one of the most cost-effective ways to create high quality, low volume plastic components identical to injection molding parts. Several widely available resins can be used into the production process that fulfill a broad variety of design specifications. With this method it is easy to accomplish a rapid turnaround for components.
Applications
A range of vacuum casting resins is available for various uses, such as transparent, rubber, food-grade, consumer products and colored to meet your needs. In the electronic industry, polyurethanes have excellent shock and heat resistance and are fit for making housings of electronic devices.
