The Purpose Of Vacuum Casting Factory

Vacuum casting is made using polyurethane vacuum casting resin components, it is produced from silicone mould tooling. Ideal for producing low volume parts from polyurethanes or silicone rubbers, is an economical way of producing production like parts for exhibitions, market research, batch prototyping or in some instances, low-volume production. Vacuum casting factory refers to the production under vacuum of plastic or rubber components from silicon moulds.

The factories of vacuum casting use parts production that are dimensionally accurate, precise replicas of the original pattern with profiles & texture faithfully reproduced. Depending on the requirements of your application, they generate parts and prototypes using vacuum casting can have numerous benefits. Vacuum casting is well known for low volume prototyping.

Benefits of Vacuum Casting:

• Automotive and aerospace parts
• Prosthetic and medical devices
• Production of plastic prototype parts for a range of industries, including consumer goods
• Part integration and function testing
• Product marketing before manufacturing process
• Perfect for mimicking injection moulded parts at a fraction of the cost
• Decorative objects, such as wall plaques or short run custom ornaments
• Reduce your work load when the time comes to manufacture
• Create multiple versions with different colors, surface textures, etc.

We recommend and work with a number of resins when vacuum casting based on their properties. Prototypes are often made of less robust, and therefore less expensive, materials. It is also critical to many of our clients because they need to produce a physical part quickly in order to validate a design or to capture a fleeting sales opportunity. The process allows coloring pigments to be added to the vacuum chamber along with the resin components so that the final part matches exactly with your company’s branding.

If your low-volume production parts made fast using our quick turnaround service, then the vacuum casting factory can make up to 100,000 parts either one time or on a regular basis. This is an ideal solution for managing your inventory while testing the market before producing larger quantities.

The vacuum casting system is perfect for projects with tight budgets and lead times short. Designed to emulate most thermoplastics in look, this range allows us to closely match to your production intent materials. They can easily be painted to match existing parts or for more complex visual finishes. Your specified surface finish and component color are repeated with each tool operation.

It is important to remember that 3D printing are stages of a greater whole prototyping. 3D printing is a step towards production but not manufacturing itself and yet giving you an example. Being able to print flexible elastomers and rubberised components is achievable but before you can understand the design better and not waste money. This technology does offer a unique opportunity to customise items such as replacement joints, surgical implants and prosthetics.

The vacuum casting factory provides all finishing services to ensure your product meets your specifications. The object is printed as a hard part and finished to texturally replicate the final production object, then cast in a material with physical properties as an identical appearance.
