Silicone Mold & Vacuum Casting

Vacuum Casting:  Vacuum Casting (also know as Urethane Casting or Polyurethane Casting) can be used to closely simulate final injection-molded parts and/or finished   products-quickly and inexpensively without the investment in metal tooling. Polyurethane Casting parts and/or finished products can be completed and delivered in days after completing SRM tooling(silicone rubber molds),and dozens of short runs can be delivered within weeks in most instances. SRM tooling can take as little as 3-5days.
 
Silicone Molds:Silicone molds are universally used in vacuum casting manufacturing. Silicone molds are featured by high tenacity and often used to make plastic parts with complicate structures, intricate surface and stable measurement. They are extremely ideal for performing low volume production. 
By reviewing vacuum casting process, we learn that silicone mold serves as a bridge between the original master model and the end products. The basis of turning out highly simulated parts is to ensure that their silicone molds are produced and preserved in perfect condition. Thus low volume production can be realized.
