PROPERTIES AND ADVANTAGES
Vacuum Casting is used extensively in the Automotive industry. Vacuum casting is an excellent option if you’re looking for a quick, easy, and cost-effective way to produce high-quality plastic parts. Injection moulding is another popular method for manufacturing plastic parts. Unlike injection moulding, vacuum casting does not require a DFM process, and thus allows to save project time.
DISADVANTAGES
Despite all its advantages,Vacuum Casting process has several limitations that should be considered before starting a project: The prototype quality can be affected by the type of mould used.
