Vacuum Rapid Prototypes Automotive Medical Prototype Plastic Parts
Rapid Prototype Vacuum Casting Small Batch Plastic Parts Low Cost OEM
Vacuum Casting Process
Vacuum casting uses a silicone mold to infuse resin material under vacuum to quickly replicate small batches of prototype parts. Suitable for trial production runs of 10–100 parts, it is often used for functional verification and market testing.
Process Flow
- Making a master mold (CNC or 3D printing)
- Pouring the silicone mold
- Vacuum casting the resin
- Curing and demolding
- Surface treatment
- Finished product inspection
