Vacuum Casting Service

Vacuum Casting Excellence

Vacuum Casting Excellence

Vacuum casting is a fast, silicone-mold-based manufacturing process that produces high-quality polyurethane components. It's a strong fit for early prototypes, short production runs, and functional testing that calls for precise detail and a clean surface finish.

Our vacuum casting workflow takes a design from file to finished parts in as little as 2-3 days, making it a practical choice for rapid prototyping, market validation, and low-volume manufacturing runs.

Vacuum Casting Process

A streamlined six-step workflow designed to deliver consistent, high-quality parts on schedule

Master Pattern Creation

We start with your 3D CAD file to build a precise master pattern using CNC machining or 3D printing. This master pattern sets the standard for the final part quality.

⏱ Time: 1-2 days

Silicone Mold Manufacturing

The master pattern is used to create a silicone mold through a careful casting process. Each mold can typically produce 15-25 parts depending on part complexity.

⏱ Time: 1 day

Vacuum Casting

Liquid polyurethane material is mixed and poured into the silicone mold under vacuum conditions to eliminate air bubbles and ensure complete fill.

⏱ Time: 1-2 hours per part

Curing and Demolding

Parts are cured at a controlled temperature and time, then carefully removed from the silicone mold. Multiple parts can be cast simultaneously.

⏱ Time: 2-16 hours curing

Quality Inspection

Each part undergoes a thorough quality check that covers dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and material property verification.

⏱ Time: 2-4 hours

Finishing and Packaging

Final post-processing including cleaning, trimming, painting, and assembly where required. Parts are carefully packaged for safe delivery.

⏱ Time: 1-2 days
Total Production Time
5-7 Days
From your CAD file to finished vacuum cast parts
