6 Steps to Complete Your Project

Step 1

Initial Consultation & File Submission

initial inquiry
  • Discuss project needs and materials with our team.
  • Submit your 3D file (STL or other formats) for processing.
  • Finalize material selection based on prototype requirements.

Step 2

Creating the Master Model

creating a master model for vacuum casting through CAD
  • We process your 3D file and create the master model using SLA.
  • Harden, clean, and finish the model (sanding, graining, etc.).
  • Add parting line markers for easier mold opening.

Step 3

Mold Creation

  • Place the master model in a box and pour silicone to create the mold.
  • Once cured, carefully open the mold and remove the master.

Step 4

Duplication Process

vacuum casting machine
  • Seal the mold and mix polyurethane materials under vacuum.
  • Pour the mixture into the mold and cure it in a heated oven.
  • Demold the part and inspect for quality.

Step 5

Quality Check & Final Adjustments

quality check and final adjustment of vacuum casting
  • Perform a quality check to ensure accuracy.

  • Apply any additional finishing touches (e.g., painting, coating).

  • Provide photos or samples for approval before delivery.

Step 6

Delivery & Feedback

FAQs question mark
How accurate are the prototypes made through vacuum casting?2024-12-07T08:18:57+00:00

Our vacuum casting process is highly precise, with tolerances typically within ±0.2mm. The level of accuracy depends on the complexity of the part, and we ensure the final product matches the design intent.

What is the difference between polyurethane and silicone rubber for casting?2024-12-07T08:18:26+00:00

Polyurethane is rigid and suitable for hard, durable parts, while silicone rubber is flexible, soft, and often used for seals or soft-touch components. The choice depends on your specific part requirements.

Can vacuum casting be used for small production runs?2024-12-07T08:17:59+00:00

Yes! Vacuum casting is ideal for small to medium production runs, making it perfect for testing prototypes, producing limited batches, or validating designs before moving to mass production.

What materials can be used for vacuum casting?2024-12-07T08:17:31+00:00

We offer a variety of materials, including polyurethane, silicone rubber, ABS-like resin, transparent resin, and flame-retardant materials. Each material has unique properties, such as flexibility, heat resistance, and chemical resistance.

How long does the vacuum casting process take?2024-12-07T08:16:41+00:00

The lead time for vacuum casting typically ranges from 5 to 10 business days, depending on the complexity and quantity of the order. The process can be expedited if necessary.

What is vacuum casting?2024-12-07T08:16:11+00:00

Vacuum casting is a rapid prototyping technique used to create high-quality, low-volume parts. It involves creating a silicone mold from a master model, then casting materials like polyurethane into the mold to produce prototypes or end-use parts.
