OEM Silicone Vacuum Casting Products IGS STP STL Drawing Format
Product Description
From the process point of view, first of all, we will make a
high-precision master model based on the design through 3D
printing, CNC processing and other methods. Then, pour the liquid
silicone around the main model into a special frame, put it into a
vacuum environment to remove bubbles, and then heat and cure it to
form a silicone mold. After that, inject the precisely proportioned
liquid plastic material (such as polyurethane resin) into the mold,
and use the vacuum environment again to ensure that the material is
evenly distributed and there are no bubbles left, and then heat it
to cure the plastic. Finally, open the mold to take out the parts,
and after deburring, grinding, surface treatment and other
processes, get the final product.
Crida's advantages in this type of plastic parts are significant.
In terms of cost, silicone molds can be used multiple times, which
greatly reduces production costs. Compared with traditional
injection molding, it does not require high metal mold production
costs and is extremely friendly to small-batch production. In terms
of precision, the process can accurately replicate every detail of
the master model, with high-dimensional accuracy and smooth
surface, which can meet various complex design requirements. In
terms of production cycle, it is fast and efficient, and can be
completed in a short time from model making to parts output, which
effectively guarantees the rapid iteration and market launch of
products. In terms of material selection and performance, a variety
of plastic materials can be selected to meet the diverse needs of
different products for strength, toughness, heat resistance, etc.,
and the color and surface texture of parts can be flexibly
adjusted.
In practical applications, Crida's silicone vacuum casting plastic
parts are widely used in the manufacture of parts in the automotive
field, such as exquisite interior parts; in the medical device
industry, it provides solutions for high-precision instrument
accessories; in the consumer electronics field, it can produce
products such as shells with exquisite appearance and excellent
texture, which has effectively promoted the development of related
industries.
Features
1. High degree of detail restoration: It can accurately reproduce
the texture, structure and other details of the main model, the
surface finish can reach a high level, the dimensional accuracy is
stable, and it is suitable for parts with strict requirements on
appearance and size.
2. Low mold cost: Compared with injection molds, silicone molds
have simple manufacturing processes, low material costs, and can be
reused (usually 50-100 pieces can be produced), especially suitable
for small batch production or prototyping.
3. Short production cycle: The process from the main model to the
part molding is fast, without the need for complex mold opening
procedures, and can quickly respond to product iterations or small
batch order requirements.
4. Strong material flexibility: It can be adapted to a variety of
materials such as polyurethane resins and epoxy resins. By
adjusting the material formula, it can meet the different
requirements of parts in terms of hardness, toughness, temperature
resistance, chemical resistance, etc.
5. Vacuum environment molding: The casting process is carried out
under vacuum conditions to reduce the generation of bubbles,
improve the density and mechanical properties of parts, and make
the product quality more stable.
6. Wide range of application scenarios: suitable for automotive
accessories, medical devices, electronic housings, consumer product
prototypes and other fields, especially suitable for the production
of complex structures or personalized parts.

Applications
Silicone vacuum casting parts are widely used in product research
and development and industrial manufacturing. In terms of product
research and development, its rapid prototyping and low-cost
characteristics make it the first choice for prototyping in
industries such as automobiles, aerospace, and consumer
electronics. It can quickly verify the design and shorten the
product development cycle. In the field of industrial
manufacturing, this process can provide customized, small-batch
high-precision parts for industries such as healthcare, ships, and
sporting goods to meet personalized needs. At the same time, it can
produce industrial accessories of special specifications to improve
equipment performance.
In addition, in creative fields such as cultural and creative arts
and jewelry design, silicone vacuum casting plastic parts can
accurately reproduce complex details and help artists achieve
small-batch production of creative works. In scientific research
experimental scenarios, this process can customize experimental
device parts that meet special needs to provide support for
scientific research. Whether it is high-end manufacturing or
creative design, silicone vacuum casting parts play an important
role in promoting innovation and development in multiple
industries.
Packaging and Shipping
Packaging solution
1. Basic protective layer: Use anti-static pearl cotton or bubble
film to wrap the parts tightly to avoid scratches and wear on the
surface of the parts during transportation, and effectively prevent
potential damage to electronic parts caused by static electricity.
For precision and complex structural parts, soft sponges will also
be filled inside to prevent the internal structure of the parts
from being damaged by vibration.
2. Reinforced packaging layer: Put the wrapped parts into a
customized hard paper box or blister box, and set a groove in the
box that fits the shape of the parts to ensure that the parts are
stable and reduce shaking. If there are multiple parts, use a
partition design to prevent collisions between parts.
3. Outer box packaging: Choose a high-strength five-layer
corrugated box as the outer packaging, and paste anti-collision
corner guards around the box. Mark warning signs such as "fragile"
and "handle with care" in a prominent position on the surface of
the carton, and attach a product list and necessary instructions
for use. Use wooden boxes that meet international transportation
standards, fill the interior with moisture-proof desiccant, and
reinforce the outside of the wooden box.
Shipping process
1. Order confirmation: Check the order information again before
shipping to confirm that the part specifications, quantity,
delivery address, etc. are correct.
2. Logistics selection: Choose the appropriate logistics method
based on the weight, volume, delivery time and customer
requirements of the parts. Ship by international express, air or
sea, and handle relevant customs declaration and clearance
procedures in advance.
3. Shipping tracking: Send the logistics order number to the
customer in time after shipment, and track the transportation
status of the goods in real time through the logistics platform,
actively communicate with the customer about the logistics
progress, and coordinate and solve any abnormal transportation
situation in time to ensure that the parts are delivered to the
customer safely and on time.
