vacuum casting models

Low volume plastic part manufacturing

Triple-c china rapid prototype center provides low volume plastic manufacturing with the vacuum casting technique.

we make a silicone mould and in this mould we pour a Poly urethane resin

A renowned process to create plastic prototype is vacuum casting .  The original model laying in a box  is poured with a liquid polyurethane casting. By this method, a flexible silicone form, the soft mould has been created.

In a mixer, the final components are thoroughly mixed and then given as a reaction mass in the vacuum chamber in the silicone forms of reproduction. The curing takes place in the form itself and the vacuum is used to prevent the formation from air bubbles.

It is a very quick and inexpensive copying method for functional prototypes and is preferred for the production of molded polyurethane for example in the electronics and maritime industry.
