Custom vacuum casting resin silicone mold rapid prototyping service

What is rapid prototyping?

Rapid prototyping is the creation of a scale model of a physical part through an assortment of processes such as 3D printing, which is the most common process. The rapid prototyping process quickens the entire manufacturing process. Engineers and product designers use rapid prototyping for any kind of product development. However, they most often use it for plastic part development since most 3D printers can only use plastic.

What is vacuum casting?

This rapid prototyping process allows for the reproduction of dozens of plastic parts, which are made from silicone molds made from the master model produced by machining. Using this silicone mold, we can make dented parts with different types of resins. These resins can be used for approximately different plastics such as ABS, PA, PP, etc.

Applications and Uses of Vacuum Casting

The advantages of vacuum casting are numerous, contributing to its popularity in rapid prototyping and small-batch production:

• Cost-Effectiveness: Vacuum casting is significantly more economical than other manufacturing processes like injection molding for small to medium-sized production runs. The initial setup costs are lower, and the process allows for quick and affordable modifications.
• High-Quality Results: The process yields parts with excellent surface finishes, fine details, and high dimensional accuracy. This is particularly important for prototypes that need to closely resemble the final product.
• Material Versatility: Vacuum casting offers the flexibility to use a wide range of materials, including various types of resins that can mimic the properties of different plastics, rubbers, and even metals. This versatility is essential for testing different material properties in prototypes.
• Speed: The turnaround time for vacuum casting is relatively short, making it ideal for rapid prototyping. This quick production cycle allows companies to accelerate their product development and time-to-market.
• Customization and Complexity: Vacuum casting can handle complex shapes and intricate details which might be challenging or impossible to achieve with other manufacturing methods. It also allows for a high degree of customization in terms of colors and finishes.
