Vacuum Casting Service
Silicone mold vacuum casting is a cost-effective way to produce low-volume plastic or rubber-like parts with excellent surface detail. It bridges the gap between 3D-printed prototypes and injection molding.
How It Works
- Create a master pattern (CNC, 3D print or existing part)
- Build a silicone mold around the master
- Cast polyurethane or similar resins under vacuum
- Trim, finish and inspect each part
Advantages
- Detailed surfaces — replicates fine textures from the master model
- Low tooling cost — ideal for 10–500 pcs bridge production
- Material options — ABS-like, rubber-like, transparent and flame-retardant urethanes
- Fast turnaround — molds ready in days, not weeks
Typical Applications
- Pre-production validation before hard tooling
- Medical device enclosures and ergonomic grips
- Consumer product housings and covers
- Automotive interior prototypes
