Silicone Mold Vacuum Casting
Vacuum Casting process is used to produce a short production run or duplicated products. Using the part produced via CNC, or SLA as a master to produce a silicone rubber mold. This silicone rubber mold is used in vacuum casting machine to produce accurate duplicates of the original products. RTV equipment has several advantages including high production speeds, good accuracy (including the surface finish) and much lower costs.
Vacuum Casting Materials Urethane resins are polymers with a wide range of properties and use. WayKen offers various urethane materials to meet your applications, including Hei-Cast from Japan and Axson from France. Materials with certain properties are similar to engineering production plastics, such as ABS, PMMA, PC, PP, PA, and so on. Casting parts can be varied from transparent, translucent to colored, and from soft rubber to hard plastic. Various materials contain those impact-resistant, high-temperature resistant (150℃) or fire-resistant (UL94-V0), glass-filled resins, and different hardness silicone.
