As one of outstanding rapid prototype manufacturer china based, we offer Vacuum Casting (also known as urethane casting) and silicone molds are perfect for short run production. We first make an accurate master using SLA or CNC and then cast it in silicone to create a mold that can produce up to 20 parts.

Advantages of vacuum casting process:

• In-molded textures and colors possible which eliminates the need for painting
• Wide range of imported PU simulant material available – Axson (France) and Hei Cast (Japan)Over-molding of rigid clear lens, inserts and soft PU materials
• RoHS certified materials so perfect for special purpose machine short run production (e.g. medical equipment).
• Lower tolling costs and faster lead times than hardened steel tools
• Lower cost method of producing higher quantities of prototypes
• Complex shapes and undercuts are possible without the need of joining the parts.
