Urethane vacuum casting .
Vacuum molding, also known as silicone molding or hand board molding, is an economical alternative to small batch injection molding of plastic parts.
Usually, molds use CNC or SLA parts as prototypes, made of silicone material, and parts are made by pouring polyurethane PU material through vacuum injection molding.
Rapid Model possesses leading vacuum replication technology, utilizing silicone molds to quickly replicate polyurethane castings similar to engineering plastics,
making it an ideal choice for functional testing and small-scale production of hand boards.
Advantage
Vacuum casting, also known as vacuum replica, creates a vacuum silicone mold using the original template,
and then pours the material into degassing, mixing, preheating, casting, and other processes for cloning.
The silicone replica process does not require expensive and time-consuming injection molds.
Up to 50 functional prototype parts can be produced in 10 to 15 days.
Polyurethane materials used for vacuum injection molding can be rigid, elastic, transparent, and of various colors.
Vacuum replica can provide high-precision and high-precision parts with production grade quality levels.
Compared to CNC hand boards or 3D printing, vacuum copying can provide better surface quality.
Product Cases
Silicone replica is an effective method for small batch production of functional hand boards and plastic parts,
and helps you strike a balance between high-quality production of parts and the shortest delivery time.
