What is vacuum casting?

Vacuum casting is a fast and cost-effective prototyping method commonly used to produce small quantities of high-precision polyurethane prototype parts.
Vacuum casting is also known as silicone resin molding because it uses silicone resin to make molds
Design the plastic main pattern from your CAD. This is a casting process
Using vacuum to suck liquid PU material into the elastomer of silicone gel
Mold and casting. It is different from injection molding because its mold life is
Short, the mold cannot be replicated with many bottom cuts.
Specially used for rapid prototyping and small-scale replication processes, widely used for proofreading and previewing injection molded products.
Why choose vacuum casting?
1. Low cost of silicone molds
2. Competitive in small batch parts
3. Rapid production, depending on the size of the parts (45 minutes to 4 hours per piece)
4. Various PU resin materials can be provided
5. High quality surface treatment
6. Suitable for rapid prototyping, consumer electronics, sports equipment, toys, etc
