After designed, in general make some prototypes to test the structure, appearance and other characteristics, sometimes also need them to test market. Therefore, it needs small batches plastic parts before mass production. Thoes can be manufacturered by prototyping or injection molding, but by contrast the cost of injection molding is very high.
The Vacuum Casting is an economic choose for small batch plastic parts production. Usually, made a master first, and then make a mold out of silicone, and the parts are made of polyurethane material through the process of vacuum casting. It can accurately copy the structure, details and texture of the master, and have the same surface finishing as the master.
So,the Vacuum Casting process is widely used for rapid engineering testing, design, proof of concept, sales and display.
