Introduction
Rapid vacuum casting is a machining method that uses silicone molds to replicate 3D designs or prototypes into a small number of physical parts.
Applications: Used for functional verification, assembly matching checks, and the production of market trial samples. It can also be used for appearance demonstrations and customer confirmation samples.
Processing capacity
- The overall dimensional accuracy of parts can be achieved from ±0.15 mm to ±0.3 mm, depending on the part size, structural complexity, and material selection.
- It can completely replicate the details of the master mold, including holes, chamfers, ribs, text, and textures.
- The silicone mold exhibits good dimensional consistency throughout its lifespan (typically 15–30 pieces), suitable for small-batch delivery.
- High surface quality, achieving smooth, fine-sand, or leather-like effects with clear edge contours.
- Various post-processing options are available: spraying, coating, screen printing, pad printing, dyeing, polishing, and assembly bonding, meeting engineering verification and demonstration needs.
- Supports replication of 5–100 pieces per silicone mold set, flexibly addressing small-batch market testing or customer sample confirmation requirements.
MOQ, Delivery Time, and Mass Production Capacity
Minimum Order Quantity: A single silicone mold set can typically stably produce 15–30 pieces, with batch sizes reaching 100 pieces.
Delivery time: After the 3D files are confirmed, the delivery cycle is usually 7–15 working days, depending on the complexity and quantity of the parts.
FAQ
Q: Can vacuum replica parts replace injection molded parts?
A: It can replace injection molded parts during functional testing, assembly verification, and market trial sales stages, but it is not recommended for long-term mass production.
Q: What materials can be used?
A: Commonly used as PU resin, it can simulate the characteristics of various plastics such as ABS, PP, PC, rubber, etc.
Q: Does it support customized colors and surface effects?
A: Support. Color and surface effects can be customized according to color cards, samples, or customer requirements.
