INTRODUCTION
What Is Vacuum Casting. Why Does Your Business Need It?
Vacuum casting is a rapid prototyping process where liquid polyurethane resins are poured into silicone molds under vacuum to eliminate air bubbles and achieve high surface detail. The result is a part that closely replicates the material properties and appearance of injection-molded products, without the cost or lead time of hard tooling.
It is widely used in product development, design validation, functional testing, and low-volume production across industries including consumer electronics, automotive, medical, and industrial equipment.
Key Business Outcomes:
• Production-accurate prototypes at a fraction of tooling cost
• Fast turnaround for design validation and client approvals
• Low-volume manufacturing without injection mold investment
• Wide material simulation including rubber, ABS-like, and clear resins

HOW WE WORK
Our Vacuum Casting Engagement Process
A structured, engineering-driven process ensures your parts are delivered on time, within tolerance, and ready for their intended use.
01
Discovery
You share your CAD files, drawings, or design brief. Our team reviews your geometry, material requirements, surface finish needs, and delivery timeline.
02
DFM Review and Quotation
We perform a design for manufacturability review and provide a detailed quote with recommended resin grade, finish options, and lead time.
03
Master Pattern Preparation
We prepare or 3D print a high-accuracy SLA or SLS master pattern to the required surface finish quality for silicone mold production.
04
Silicone Mold Fabrication
The master pattern is encased in liquid silicone under controlled conditions. Molds are cured, trimmed, and validated before any casting begins.
05
Vacuum Casting and Post-Processing
Parts are cast under vacuum using your specified resin grade, then demoulded, post-cured, finished, and inspected against your drawing before delivery.
06
Quality Inspection and Delivery
Each part is dimensionally and visually inspected before secure packaging and global delivery with full inspection documentation.
