The Importance of Silicone Mold Vacuum Casting in Rapid Prototyping
Service
Vacuum casting is a precision rapid protoyping technology that is
used to create low-volume parts with complex geometric shapes and
details. This process involves the need for the creation of the
mold or patterns and then uses it to create organic silicon or
polyurethane molds. Then put the mold in the vacuum chamber and
pour the liquid material (usually two parts of polyurethane or
epoxy resin) into the mold. Vacuum pressure helps to remove all
bubbles from the material to ensure that the final product is
smooth.
We focus on providing you with the best services for rapid
prototyping, rapid tooling and small batch manufacturing.
Our team of technicians is dedicated to customizing your parts
using state-of-the-art equipment and technologies including 3D
printing, SLA/SLS, vacuum casting, sheet metal and 5-axis CNC
machining.
We're here to turn your ideas into reality quickly.
The Advantages Of Vacuum Casting
- No need to invest high initial cost in mold manufacturing.
- The vacuum casting has a high degree of reduction, requiring little
or no post-processing.
- Different vacuum casting polymer materials are available, and the
required color can be prepared according to requirements.
- The mold can be completed within a few days after the production of
the front prototype.
- The die strength can meet 50 times of production.
- Glue coating enables plastics of different materials and hardness
to be integrally formed.
Vacuum casting services
| Tolerance | The tolerance of vacuum casting products mainly depends on the
accuracy of the prototype parts, the geometry of the product and
the selected manufacturing materials. |
| Materials | Vacuum casting is available in hundreds of materials to achieve
different design hardness and surface textures. Vacuum casting
products can be completely opaque or translucent, or can be
completely transparent to meet a variety of design requirements. |
| Post-Processing | JYH offers a range of post-processing services to ensure that the
product fully meets your expectations. Our aftertreatment includes
sandblasting, painting, polishing, spraying, drilling, tapping and
threading. We have a professional quality inspection team to
inspect the products, each item is visible in the production
system, and there is a special person to track. |
Silica gel is not only a good material for casting tools, but also
an excellent component material. Silicone is durable, elastic, tear
resistant, inert, easy to clean, and resistant to high
temperatures. Silicone rubber can be in the ultra-soft and hard
range of Shore a10 and Shore a60 medium hard rubber. Silicone
castings are ideal for medical devices, surgical models, soft touch
enclosures, and more.
When color, surface quality and toughness are required, vacuum
casting parts are often used. Vacuum casting is a perfect
alternative to insertion molds in low volume and is compatible with
a wide range of materials.
Vacuum Casting is a mid-to-low production volume process for
customers who need high quality, cosmetic finish, end-use parts in
a fast turnaround. We not only produce vacuum casting plastic parts
with production-level quality but also offer a wide range of
finishing services
and post-machining services to ensure your requirements of quality,
exterior looking, performance, and color selection are met.
Advantages of vacuum casting
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.

FAQ:
1.What Kinds of Material Can Be Used For Vacuum Casting?
Ruitai have many kinds of material for vacuum casting including
rubber, similar ABS/PP/PC/PE. And the color is customizable. We
will mix up the color according to your requirements.
2.What Is Vacuum Casting?
The process in which we use a vacuum to mold a molten material is
termed vacuum casting. This process is used when the material is
fiber, or wire-reinforced.
In this process, a small series of functional plastics parts are
produced. Polyurethanes and silicone molds are two essential
components are used in this process. People tend to apply it for
high-quality prototypes or end-use products.
3.Does Vacuum Casting Offer A Wide Range Of Material Choices For
Production?
Vacuum casting provides you a wide range of materials from which
you can choose your favorite ones. There are various options
available for final casting like polymer resins, including stiff
plastic and flexible elastomers and transparent materials.
It is also curable and cast-able resin including many well-known
substances. This means that the Prototype produced by vacuum
casting can have the same aesthetic and mechanical properties as a
mass-produced component made from ABS polyurethane.
