Vacuum Casting

Quickly and inexpensively produce high-fidelity prototypes of close to production-grade materials. Good at replicating complex components to meet complex design requirements with excellent surface finish and detail.

 

Why Choose Us

_

We are manufacturer and inventor with years of expertise using inventive manufacturing methods. Being able to customize solutions to customer needs puts us ahead. We adjust our vacuum casting technique for prototypes with exact material qualities or small quantities for market testing. Our careful inspection and quality control guarantee that every product we make passes the highest requirements. Last but not least, our complete customer assistance covers design consultation to manufacturing for an easy transaction for all our customers.

 

Advantages of Vacuum Casting

_

Precision and Customizability

We can achieve ±0.3% accuracy with wall thicknesses as thin as 0.75 mm with vacuum casting. Working with elaborate patterns and geometries necessitates this precision. Our silicone molds produce precise pieces with configurable hardness, transparency, and surface textures.  

Cost and Efficiency

We prioritize cost-efficiency for our customers. In small-batch production, vacuum casting is cheaper than traditional manufacturing methods, including injection molding. We can make 50 high-quality pieces per mold for prototypes and small runs without expensive tooling.  

Speed to Market

Vacuum casting speeds up prototyping and iterations while accelerating the development cycle. For instance, mold fabrication and part manufacturing may be finished in days. This speed is essential for racing rivals to market and improving concepts with real-world testing and feedback.
