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
General applications of vacuum casting
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.
Medical implants: Vacuum casting is widely used in the medical industry to fabricate
complex parts and components. It can be used to make implants and
prosthetics.
Automotive industry: Automotive parts are often manufactured through vacuum casting
due to the process’s ability to create highly detailed components.
Automobile parts such as intake manifolds, exhaust systems, and
body panels can benefit from the superior accuracy and
repeatability of silicone vacuum casting.
Food Industry: The process is often used to manufacture intricate parts for the
food industry. It can create moulds, packaging components, and
other complex shapes needed in food production operations.
Aerospace components: This process can be used to fabricate precision aerospace
components. Due to its superior accuracy, repeatability, and
ability to create intricate detail, components such as air ducts,
fuel systems, and even some parts of aeroplanes’ exteriors are
often created through vacuum casting.
Consumer goods: Vacuum casting can manufacture complex consumer goods such as
toys and sporting equipment. The process can create highly precise
parts that are perfect for consumer use.
