• High Dimensional Accuracy

Silicone molds that are being utilized in the process of vacuum casting have excellent replicable properties, capturing even the finest details of the master model. Due to this property of the silicon mold, the result of the product is in high dimensional. Accuracy with tolerance is as tight as ±0.1 mm, therefore, making vacuum casting ideal for applications that require precision, such as medical devices, consumer, electronics, and aerospace.

• Superior Surface Finish

With exceptional accuracy, the vacuum casted parts replicate the surface quality of the master pattern. A well-polished master guarantees a smooth, high-quality finish on the cast parts. This minimises or even eliminates the requirement for post-processing, therefore making this process ideal for creating aesthetically functional and pleasing prototypes.

• Better Strength Compared to 3D Printed Parts

Vacuum cast parts are formed from a homogeneous resin mixture, unlike 3D printed parts which are built layer by layer and often tend to fail along the layer lines. This uniform composition ensures ideal structural integrity and strength, making the process of vacuum, casting a superior choice for functional prototypes and load bearing components. 

• Higher Working Temperatures

The parts that are manufactured through the process of vacuum casting typically offers comparatively a better resistance to thermal exposure then 3D printed parts. Several vacuum casted resins has the potential to with stand higher working temperatures, hence, making suitable for the application in demanding environments, like industrial equipments and automotive components.

• Consistent Turnaround Times

Vacuum casting, unlike 3D printing, maintains consistent turnaround times, regardless of the size of the parts. On the other hand, 3D printing require more time to manufacture larger parts due to the layer by layer building process method. The manufacturing time for vacuum cast parts, whether it be small or large, remains similar, therefore ensuring faster production for bulky and complex designs.

• Cost-Effective for Low Volumes

Vacuum casting is an economical solution for production runs of 1 – 100 units. Silicone molds are inexpensive and quick to create, hence significantly lowering the cost of tooling and accelerating the production, compare to injection molding.

• Material Versatility

A wide variety of resins is supported by this process, enabling manufacturers to produce parts with properties similar to polycarbon, ABS, or rubber. Whether there is a need of flexibility, transparency, or high strength, vacuum casting Technology offers customed solutions for distinct applications.

• Air Bubble Free Parts

Casting of parts under vacuum removes tiny air bubbles from the resins, resulting in structurally, smooth and sound parts with consistent mechanical properties, which is crucial for applications requiring precision and durability.

• Rapid Prototyping

Vacuum casting accelerates product development cycles with lead time as short as 2- days, hence enabling quicker iterations and market readiness.
