Vacuum Casting
– Suitable for scaling from 1-1000 parts
– Fast Production at Low Volumes
– DFM feedback and analysis
High Quality Prototypes and Production Parts
Urethane casting, also referred to as Vacuum casting, is a cost-effective and speedy solution for producing premium plastic parts, in contrast to 3D printing or injection molding. Injection molding necessitates a costly upfront cost to create the mold, whereas creating the silicone mold needed for Vacuum casting is cheap and simplistic. SMT boasts a Vacuum casting department with over 20 employees distributed among three units to complete the molding, casting, and post-treatment processes.

Vacuum Casting Process
Benefits Of Vacuum Casting
* High Precision And Fine Detail To The Finished Product
When you are using silicone as the mold to your products. It ensures that the final product has great attention to the details. The final product ends up looking like the original product. Every attention to detail is considered and taken into account. Even when the original product has the most complex geometry, the final product looks like the original.
* High Quality Of The Product
The products made using the vacuum casting method are of high quality. Also, the use of resin allows you to choose the right material to be used in making of the final product. This allows you to have a wider choice of flexibility, hardness and rigidity you want in your products. Also, this has a great influence on the final appearance of the product since the material used plays a major role.
* Lowers The Production Costs
Using the vacuum casting process to make the product is more economical. This is because the process uses silicon to make the molds. Silicone is affordable as compared to aluminum or steel and makes great final products. Moreover, the material allows you to make more products from the mold. This makes this process more cost effective as compared to the use of 3D printing.
* A Great Method When You Want To Meet A Deadline
This method is fast, and it takes you less time to finish making the finish products. You can take 10 to 15 days to make around 50 functioning prototype parts. This method is amazing when you are making a lot of products. Additionally, it is great when you are working towards meeting a deadline.
