Precision PU ABS ABS Plastic Spare Parts Vacuum Casting Molding Product By Silicone Mould
Vacuum casting or urethane casting is a technology that combines silicone molds and a 3D printed master pattern to create short-run, rigid parts with production-level quality. The process hardens thermoplastic polyurethane inside silicon or epoxy molds. The result is vacuum casting parts with the same shapes as the original master models. The final dimensions of the vacuum casting parts will depend on the master model, part geometry, and the material chosen.
As a leading vacuum casting manufacturer, Race offers low-cost fabrication of high-quality plastic parts. This technology eliminates the need for expensive upfront investments. Our vacuum casting services offer the complete solution for creating excellent quality prototypes and low-volume production parts.
Technical specifications of vacuum casting
Vacuum casting is a process that uses a vacuum to remove the air from the mould. This leaves a smooth surface on the castings and results in minimal defects. It is often used for small parts and thin-walled parts. Some general specifications of the process are the following:
Materials | A wide variety of materials can be used (plastic, rubber) |
Lead time | 10-20 days |
Minimum wall thickness | 0.75 mm, but 1.5 mm is recommended |
Quantity | 1-20 per mould |
Surface quality | Glossy or matt |
Vacuum casting is a versatile process with many applications in different industries. The ability of the process to create intricate and precise components makes it an ideal choice for high-quality results.
