WHAT IS VACUUM CASTING?

Vacuum casting, also known as urethane casting or silicone molding, is a rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing process used to produce high-quality parts in a relatively short amount of time. It is a technique commonly employed in industries such as automotive, aerospace, consumer goods, and medical devices for creating prototypes and small batches of parts.

ADVANTAGES OF VACUUM CASTING

1.Cost-Effective for Low Volumes: Vacuum casting is a cost-effective method for producing small quantities of parts compared to techniques like injection molding, which may require expensive molds for mass production.

2.Rapid Prototyping: Vacuum casting allows for the quick production of prototypes and functional parts within a short timeframe, making it ideal for testing designs and concepts before moving to full-scale production.

3.High-Quality Parts: Parts produced through vacuum casting exhibit high levels of detail, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy, closely resembling the final products. This makes it suitable for creating prototypes that accurately represent the intended end product.

4.Wide Material Selection: Vacuum casting supports a variety of materials, including rigid and flexible resins in different colors and properties. This versatility allows for the production of parts with diverse characteristics to meet specific requirements.
