Vacuum Casting

Vacuum casting is a rapid prototyping service used to cast various plastics and polymers.  Vacuum casting uses a mould on to which a vacuum is placed.  The casting liquid is then forced into the mould through atmospheric pressure, trapped air is also removed by the vacuum which would adversely affect the process

Vacuum casting can be used to create low volume, high quality copies of a stereolithography prototype.  As the models can be textured this not only allows them to look like the end product but feel like them, which can be an advantage in testing.

Vacuum Casting is an ideal method to use for parts in the automotive industry for trim.  Vacuum Casting is also great for projects that require up to 300 parts on a tight budget and with short lead times.
