What are Vacuum Casting/Silicone Molding/Urethane Casting Services?
Vacuum Casting, also known as Silicone Molding or Urethane Casting, is a technology that combines silicone molds and a 3D printed master pattern to create small batches of high-quality parts in a short amount of time. Each cast part accurately replicates the color, texture, and geometry of the original master model. These parts are suitable for fit and function testing, marketing purpose, concept proofing, high quality prototypes, etc. Vacuum Casting is also widely used for customizing end-use parts. It is an ideal choice for creating impeccable prototypes and plastic parts ranging from 10 to 1000 pieces.

Vacuum Casting/Silicone Molding/Urethane Casting FAQs
Vacuum Casting/Silicone Molding/Urethane Casting Applications
Low-Volume Production
Vacuum Casting parts are an ideal choice for low-volume production, particularly well-suited for processing plastic parts ranging from 10 to 1000 pieces. This ensures better consistency and accuracy in product dimensions.
Advanced Prototyping
The Vacuum Casting process utilizes low-cost tooling, making it a more affordable and accessible method for prototype creation. It enables the production of high-quality prototypes using a variety of materials and accommodating design alterations. This facilitates easy testing of designs, efficiently preparing them for functional testing.
Market Testing
Vacuum Casting proves to be the optimal choice for consumer testing, user evaluation, and conceptual modeling. It facilitates the production of prototypes using the same material intended for mass production, thus yielding results comparable to other manufacturing methods. Furthermore, it accurately simulates the mechanical and functional properties specified in the final design, including smoothness, rigidity, and flexibility.
