Vacuum Casting
Vacuum Casting is an old process in which a 2 component Polyurethane resin is casted into a silicon mould. This casting is done in a vacuum chamber. There are many Polyurethane resins available simulating various kinds of thermoplastics used in the industry therefore parts can be used as end product or for pilot series testing.
Advantages:
Low investment on mold
Wide range of PUR-materials
Pigmentable PUR-available
V-O grades available
Fast way to get small series
FDA approved resins available
Casting of many PUR-resins in same silicon mold is possible
Disadvantages:
Accuracy not as injection molding
max 25 pcs output per silicon mold
Finishing after each casting
Special colors need painting
