Silicone Vacuum Casting Small Batch Custom Parts Nylon ABS Rubber
PC Material
Product Description
The vacuum casting technology which uses prototype (SLA laser rapid
prototyping piece, CNC products) to make a silicone mold under
vacuum, and is poured under vacuum conditions, such as PU, ABS,
etc. Vacuum casting is also used to clone the prototype or copy the
piece. This method is especially suitable for small batch
production. It is a low-cost solution to solve experimental
production and small batch production in a short time, and can also
meet the functional test proofing of some structurally complicated
engineering samples. Crida's vacuum casting services offer a
reliable alternative to injection molding, bridging the gap between
prototype development and full production with low costs and long
lead times. This provides cost-effective, quality-assured solutions
for specific customer needs.
Advantages
1. The cost is low and the production cycle of the product is
relatively short. Less waste and processing costs are much lower
than CNC machining and 3D printing.
2. It is suitable for the processing and production of small batch
products. After making an original version, it can be copied
according to the original version, and the production efficiency is
high.
3. Good mold operation. The soft molds after curing are all
transparent or translucent, have good tensile strength, and are
easy to cut and shape.
4. The probability of processing failure is small. As long as there
is no problem with the original, the copy will naturally not go
wrong.
5. Good repeatability. The silicone for molding has good fluidity
before curing, and the fine structure and decoration of the model
can be accurately maintained with vacuum defoaming.

Technical Support & Services
Technical Support
• Process Design: We assist customers to design reasonable vacuum
casting process solutions according to factors such as the
structure, performance requirements and production batch of parts,
such as determining parameters such as mold structure, pouring
system, vacuum degree and filling speed.
• Material Selection: Based on the use environment and performance
characteristics of the parts, we will provide suitable plastic
material recommendations, such as polyurethane materials with
different hardness, strength and heat resistance, and introduce the
performance parameters and processing characteristics of the
materials.
• Simulation Analysis: We will use professional casting simulation
software to simulate the vacuum casting process and predict
possible defects such as pores, deformation, cracks, etc., and then
optimize process parameters and improve part quality.
Service Content
• Prototype Production: We will quickly produce prototypes of
plastic parts according to customer design drawings or samples for
product functional testing, appearance evaluation and design
verification, etc., to help customers find problems and make
improvements in time during the product development stage.
• Small batch production: We undertake small batch production
orders for plastic parts to meet customers' needs in product trial
sales, R&D verification or small batch customization, with the
advantages of short production cycle and low cost.
• Surface treatment: We provide a variety of surface treatment
services, such as painting, electroplating, sandblasting, silk
screen printing, etc., to improve the appearance quality of parts,
improve corrosion resistance and wear resistance and other
properties.
• Quality inspection: During the production process, we conduct
strict quality inspections on parts, including dimensional accuracy
measurement, appearance inspection, performance testing, etc., to
ensure that the parts meet customer specifications. At the same
time, we can also provide customers with quality inspection reports
and related technical support.
• After-sales service: We have established a complete after-sales
service system to respond to customers' after-sales needs in a
timely manner, such as solving problems that arise during product
use, providing technical advice, and assisting customers in product
improvements.
The companies that we provide technical support and services for
vacuum casting parts usually have professional technical teams,
advanced production equipment and rich industry experience, and can
provide customers with one-stop solutions from product design to
production and manufacturing, helping customers to quickly and
efficiently develop and produce plastic parts.
