Technical Specifications of Vacuum Casting
Vacuum casting is a cost effective way for low volume manufacturing your products. It is fast turnaround and can bridge the gap from rapid prototyping to production. Here, we are going to talk about the technical specifications of Vacuum Casting, maybe you can take this process into consideration for your next rapid prototype manufacturing.
Technical Specifications of Vacuum Casting
Vacuum Casting Materials
Hundreds of casting polymers are available to make your parts at conceivable texture and hardness commercially. You can have your part in fully opaque, translucent or transparent depending on your requirements.
Vacuum Casting Typical Lead Time
depends on the volumes and part specification, up to 20 parts can be built within 12 days.
Vacuum Casting Accurate
±0.3% (with lower limit on ± 0.3 mm on dimensions, when smaller than 100 mm)
Vacuum Casting Minimum Wall Thickness
In order to avoid the short shot, 0.75mm would be the least necessary wall thickness. For best results, we recommend 1.5mm wall thickness if possible.
Vacuum Casting Maximum Part Dimensions
The vacuum casting chamber (1900 x 900 x 750 mm) and product volume (maximum volume 10 liters) are limited factors to mold size.
Vacuum CastingTypical Quantities
Depending on the mold’s complexity and casting materials, up to 25 copies per mold.
Vacuum Casting Color & Finishing
Pigment is available to add into the liquid polyurethane to get the expected color, custom painting for texture.
