Trusted vacuum casting solution for prototypes and low-volume production components at competitive prices.
This process is a fast, cost-efficient method to generate 10-200 units with production-level quality. Generally, each silicone mold will certainly create 20 spreadings.
Urethane spreading is excellent for prototyping elastomeric parts such as complex gaskets and over molds on rigid components.
Urethane spreading enables almost limitless intricacy, consisting of sharp inner edges unattainable with CNC machining, and styles without draft or consistent wall-thickness that can not be injection built.
Up to 50 functional urethane components can be created in 10 to 15 days when you select vacuum cleaner casting.
Integrate various shade pigments to accomplish the intended results on your finished products.
Casting materials range from soft and adaptable to rigid and impact-resistant, along with colored and clear.
Urethane casting can supply much better surface structures compared with CNC prototyping or 3D printing.
The silicone molds are fairly low-cost tooling compared to injection molds and are simple to make changes.
Urethane cast parts are best for low-quantity production-- when volumes do not validate investment in shot mold tooling- in addition to for first-run manufacturing components, which can be completed weeks before manufacturing tooling is ready.
The urethane spreading process and fairly economical tooling make it simple and affordable to make any kind of essential style changes. Additionally, various products can be made use of with the same mold, making it possible to evaluate designs with a selection of materials.
End-user functionality and a top-notch coating make urethane cast parts perfect for consumer screening, individual assessment, and principle designs. Utilizing the parts urethane process indicates that changes can be included swiftly for either further testing or market launch.
| Description | Information |
|---|---|
| Distance Dimensions | 0.2 – 0.4mm. Irregular or overly-thick geometries may cause deviances or deflection due to shrinkage. |
| Shrink Mitigation | A shrinkage rate of +0.15% can be expected due to thermal expansion of the liquid, and the response of the flexible mold. |
| Minimum Wall Thickness | 1.5mm-2.5mm |
| Quantities | 20-25 copies per mold |
| Color | Color and texture can be customized. |
| Finishes | Surface finish is externally smoothed to a satin or matte surface. Grow lines may be present on internal or difficult-to-access features. Polishing or custom finishes must be clearly defined and agreed upon at the point of order. |
| Feature Definition | Sharp corners and text may appear slightly rounded. |
| Typical Lead Time | Up to 20 parts in 15 days or less. |
