Vacuum Casting
Vacuum Casting: Prototyping & Production Services
Application
Polyurethane materials is commonly used in Vacuum Casting progress. Polyurethane vacuum casting is a method for making high quality prototypes or low volumes of parts formed from inexpensive silicone molds. Copies made in this way show great surface detail and fidelity to the original pattern. The Vacuum casting can manufacture complex consumer electronics such as toys and sporting equipment. The process can create highly precise parts that are perfect for consumer use.

PROPERTIES AND ADVANTAGES
Vacuum Casting is used extensively in the Consumer electronics industry. One advantage of the vacuum casting process is its ability to produce parts with fine details. The mould is formed using the 3D printed master model. The 3D printing process can produce intricate details, which can be replicated in the final cast.
DISADVANTAGES
Despite all its advantages, Vacuum Casting process has several limitations that should be considered before starting a project: The Vacuum Casting process is only suitable for specific materials.
