Vacuum Casting
Advantages
Areas of Use
Either using a prototype or a specially constructed silicon tool is utilised
The duplication takes place in a vacuum using PH resins
One of the fastest methods in manufacturing cast formed plastics (6 days)
Using this application and desired material characteristics, one is able to produce constant quality
Able to produce a wide spectrum of products from "glass hard" to "rubber type" properties with a temperature resilience of 140 degrees centigrade (284 degrees Fahrenheit)
Functional models
Small batch components
Design models
Spare parts (e.g. transparent parts for old timers)
