01
Low-Volume Quantities
Suitable for prototypes and small production batches when steel injection tooling is not justified.
VACUUM CASTING
Vacuum Casting for Low-Volume Parts
Vacuum cast polyurethane parts manufactured from your CAD files using silicone molds for complex geometries, prototypes and low-volume production.
Suitable for small batches, complex geometries and parts requiring defined color or finished appearance.
WHEN VACUUM CASTING FITS
When Vacuum Casting Makes Sense
Vacuum casting is often a practical option when low quantities or complex part geometry do not justify conventional production tooling.
02
Complex Geometries
Silicone molds can reproduce detailed shapes and complex features from an approved master pattern.
03
Lower Tooling Investment
Silicone tooling requires substantially less upfront investment than conventional steel injection molds for low-volume projects.
04
Shorter Tooling Preparation
Silicone molds can be prepared faster than conventional production tooling, helping reduce the time before parts can be produced.
VACUUM CASTING CAPABILITIES
From Silicone Mold to Finished Parts
A closer look at key manufacturing stages used to produce low-volume vacuum cast components.
Silicone Mold Making
Silicone molds reproduce the required geometry and surface details from the approved master pattern.
Demolding
The silicone mold is opened carefully so the cast part can be removed without damaging critical features.
Finishing & Inspection
Cast parts are trimmed, finished and checked against the confirmed project requirements.
MATERIALS & FINISHING
Material and Appearance Options
Polyurethane materials can be selected to reproduce different plastic-like properties, while color and finishing requirements can be coordinated for the intended application.
01
ABS-Like Polyurethane
Rigid polyurethane for parts requiring ABS-like properties and a production-like appearance.
02
PP-Like Polyurethane
Material options for applications requiring PP-like characteristics.
03
Flexible & Rubber-Like
Flexible polyurethane options for soft and elastomer-like components.
04
Clear & Translucent
Material options for parts requiring transparent or translucent appearance.
