In order to generate a small number of high-quality prototypes based on the master model, vacuum coating is a low-cost yet dependable process that uses CNC or 3D printing. It’s the best option for quickly constructing pieces.
In order to create our prototype, why would we use vacuum casting service?
Making a silicone mould from a master prototype and then pouring material into the silicone mould is a vacuum casting service procedure.
Due to the lower cost of silicone moulds, Silicone Injection Molding are typically used for small batches of production. Other processes like CNC machining and injection moulding require a longer manufacturing lead time than vacuum casting.
Vacuum casting items have a higher market competitiveness because of their low cost and speedy manufacture.
When developing a new product, the majority of individuals prefer to use the vacuum casting process to produce low-volume prototypes for testing the market.
Despite this, the vacuum casting service process has one flaw: it can only make plastic pieces, not metal ones. Like TPU or another plastic polymer of the same type. However, keep in mind that the vacuum casting uses a comparable material, such as ABS, rather than pure ABS, and this does not impair the product’s strength.
For small-scale manufacturing plastic prototypes, the vacuum casting process is a good option.
Vacuum Casting & Polyurethane Casting:
As long as you only require a few hundred polyurethane castings every few months, we’ve got you covered. Low-volume production services are ideal if you frequently need a small quantity of products, or if you need to bridge the gap between prototype development and full production. e-vacuum make’s casting service is an option for you. Low-cost, high-quality prototypes can be made in a short period of time using vacuum casting, which is great for moulding parts quickly. Engineering testing, proof of concept, pre-production evaluations, low-volume production and sales and demonstrations can all benefit from fast prototyping. A high-quality copy of the master plate will have better details and a better surface finish. We have the ability to manufacture goods based on your design and casting compound preferences. We even have superplastics that allow you to blend two or more distinct elements into one finished product.
The Process of Vacuum Casting Service:
- Make a high-quality master model by CNC or 3d printing.
- QC inspect the quality of Master Model.
- Making of the Silicone Mold by Master Model.
- Using the Silicone Mold: After the master models were removed from the silicone mold, we refilled them with Polyurethane (PU) to copy more pieces.
Advantages of Polyurethane Casting:
Customers often opt for low-volume production in order to have more control over design and customization options, to test the market, and for cost-cutting reasons. Even if we have already collaborated with them on the development of a fresh design idea, this is especially true. Your parts will arrive swiftly thanks to our low-volume production method. We’ll have your tool ready to go when you need it. This will guarantee that you will always save time.
- Because it does not necessitate expensive hard tooling, the initial investment is low.
- Few or no post-processing is required because of the high fidelity of the mould.
- Molding polymers can be coloured in a variety of ways to meet your specific colour needs.
- In just a few days after receiving the master pattern, moulds can be made.
- Up to 20 copies can be made out of a single mould.
- Overmolding is a process that allows different plastic types and hardnesses to be combined into a single piece.
- In the early stages of production, confirmation of market needs in a short period of time
