Vacuum Casting

• Description

  Vacuum casting is a process used to produce small series of functional plastic parts by pouring liquid material into silicone molds under vacuum.

• Features

  High-Quality Surface Finish: Produces parts with a high level of detail and smooth surface finish, closely resembling injection-moulded parts.

  Cost-Effective for Low Volumes: Ideal for producing small batches of parts without the high costs associated with traditional moulding techniques.

  Material Versatility: Can replicate a variety of materials and properties, including rubber-like and rigid plastics.

  Fast Production: Quick turnaround time for producing multiple copies of a part, suitable for prototyping and short-run production.

• Materials Used

  Polyurethane resins and other thermoset polymers.

• Applications

  Functional prototypes, low-volume production, and replication of existing parts.

• Advantages

  High-quality surface finish, cost-effective for small batches, and a wide range of material properties.
