What is Vacuum Casting?
Vacuum casting is an advanced technique that utilizes polyurethane resins to produce highly accurate replicas of master patterns.
It begins with a meticulously crafted silicone mold, typically formed from a 3D-printed master. By casting under vacuum conditions, this method eliminates air bubbles, resulting in detailed, high-quality parts comparable to injection molding. Offering a faster and more cost-effective solution, vacuum casting is ideal for prototyping, small to medium production runs, and high-quality end-use components.

Process Work
We provide top-quality Vacuum Casting services, delivering high-precision, finely finished parts at competitive prices.
01
Create the master pattern
The initial step is to create the master pattern using a 3D printer or another manufacturing method. It should be made from a material capable of withstanding the heat and pressure involved in the silicone mold-making process.
02
Making Silicone Mold
Casting molds are typically made from liquid silicone resin, commonly known as RTV (room temperature vulcanizing) molds. Silicone rubber offers excellent chemical stability, self-releasing properties, and flexibility, resulting in minimal shrinkage and the accurate transfer of fine details from the master to the mold.
03
Casting Process
Carefully pour the mixed urethane into the mold, ensuring that air bubbles are minimized. Using a vacuum chamber can help eliminate trapped air, making the process more precise. This technique is why urethane casting is also known as vacuum casting
