High Pressure Silicone Mold Polyurethane Vacuum Casting

Vacuum remodeling is a common method of hand plate processing, through CNC processing or 3D printing to make an original plate, and then use the original sample plate, in a vacuum state to make a silicone mold, and in a vacuum state using PU material for pouring, so as to clone the same replica as the original sample plate of a more common processing method. It is mainly used for small quantities of plastic hand plate customization, generally in dozens to hundreds of plastic hand plate, if this way of processing is more cost-effective.

Common product materials are domestic PU, imported PU, transparent PU, soft PU, ABS, PP, PC, etc., at the same time can be copied thermoplastic elastomer TPU, etc., as well as a variety of soft materials such as silicone, rubber, etc.. At the same time, various colors can be added to the replicated products to meet various appearance requirements. Product reproduction is not affected by volume, complexity, various structures, etc., easy to open the mold, short cycle, quick results.

Common Applications of Vacuum Casting

1.Prototyping

Vacuum casting is widely used in product development and prototyping. It allows for the creation of high-quality, functional prototypes that closely resemble the final product. This enables designers and engineers to test and validate their designs before moving into mass production.

2.Small-Batch Production

Vacuum casting is an ideal manufacturing method for small-batch production. It offers a cost-effective solution for producing a limited number of parts with complex geometries and intricate details. This makes it suitable for industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, and medical devices.

3.Customized Components

Vacuum casting enables the production of customized components with specific requirements. It allows for the incorporation of various materials, colors, textures, and finishes, providing designers and manufacturers with the flexibility to meet specific customer demands and design aesthetics.

4.Functional Testing

Vacuum-cast parts can be used for functional testing and validation purposes. They can be subjected to various tests, including mechanical, thermal, and chemical evaluations, to ensure that the final product meets the desired performance standards.

5.Replacement Parts

Vacuum casting can be employed to produce replacement parts for obsolete or hard-to-find components. By utilizing 3D-printed molds and casting techniques, manufacturers can recreate these parts quickly and cost-effectively, extending the lifespan of machinery and equipment.

Vacuum casting offers a versatile and efficient manufacturing solution for a wide range of industries and applications. Its ability to produce high-quality prototypes, small-batch production runs, customized components, and functional samples makes it an indispensable technique in modern product development and manufacturing processes.

Advantages of vacuum casting

Vacuum casting is a versatile process with multiple applications in different industries. The process is capable of producing complex and precise parts, making it ideal for high quality results.

1.Low Cost

The vacuum casting greatly reduces the development cost, cycle and risk of the product. More than 20 pieces of the same product can be made using a silicone mold. This makes the vacuum mold become one of the commonly used prototype manufacturing methods in industrial production.

2.Fine Details

Vacuum casting excels in reproducing fine details and intricate features from the master pattern. The flexibility of silicone molds allows for capturing even the most delicate geometries and surface textures accurately.

3.Dimensional Accuracy

The process allows for the production of parts with tight tolerances, meeting specific design requirements and ensuring high precision in the final components.The vacuum pressure ensures that the casting material fills the mold completely, resulting in parts that closely match the original master pattern.

4.Flexibility

Vacuum casting supports a wide range of casting materials, including different types of polyurethane resins with varied properties. This flexibility allows manufacturers to choose materials that meet specific application needs, such as flexibility, hardness, or color.
