What is Vacuum Casting/Silicone Mold?

What is Vacuum Casting/Silicone Mold?

Vacuum casting is a casting process for elastomers using a vacuum to draw the liquid material into the mold. This process is used when air entrapment is a problem there are intricate details or undercuts or if the material is fiber or wire reinforced.

  • 01Received drawings

    First of all we need to receive your 3D drawings (stp step igs iges format) and quote according to your needs such as quantity material surface finish etc.

  • 02Engineering and Process Program

    Before the mold is assembled to the injection molding machine the drawing needs to be programmed so that we can clearly see the process of the material as it enters the mold for further adjustments and modifications.

  • 03Rapid Prototyping

    Rapid prototyping uses SLS or SLA 3D printing technology which can efficiently materialize design concepts very popular in the industry.

  • 04Process check

    After the mold is complete it is assembled into the injection molding machine. During the injection process we check that the machine is functioning properly (or not) make some necessary tool adjustments and generate a new sample.

  • 05Post-processing size check

    After the samples are surface treated as specified by the customer they will be checked again for dimensions.

  • 06Surface Finishes

    According to customer requirements choose the surface treatment method. At the same time quality inspection work is carried out.

  • 07Final check

    The last step is to check whether the mold needs to be adjusted according to the analysis of the sample and whether the test sample meets the previous requirements.

  • 08Packaging and Shipping

    After the samples have been tested to meet the preliminary requirements the samples can be packaged and shipped.

What is Rapid prototype?

  • What is Rapid Prototyping?

    Rapid prototyping is the fast fabrication of a physical part model or assembly using 3D computer aided design (CAD). The creation of the part model or assembly is usually completed using additive manufacturing or more commonly known as 3D printing. Rapid prototyping using selective laser meltingWhere the design closely matches the proposed finished product it is said to be a high fidelity prototype as opposed to a low fidelity prototype where there is a marked difference between the prototype and the final product.

  • How Does Rapid Prototyping Work?

    Rapid prototyping (RP) includes a variety of manufacturing technologies although most utilise layered additive manufacturing. However other technologies used for RP include high-speed machining casting moulding and extruding. While additive manufacturing is the most common rapid prototyping process other more conventional processes can also be used to create prototypes.

  • Why is rapid prototyping important?

    In this fast-moving modern-day consumer market companies need to develop and introduce new products faster to remain competitive. Since faster product development and technology innovation are key to a company’s success rapid prototyping becomes the most important element of new product development. The following objectives are achieved through rapid prototyping.

  • Is rapid prototyping the same as 3D printing?

    The simple answer is “No”. In the modern-day product development process rapid prototyping is commonly used alongside terms like “3D printing” and “additive manufacturing” mainly because 3D printing first came into prominence as a way of making prototypes quickly (Read more on the history of 3D printing). But the 7 types of additive manufacturing technologies have moved along and have made giant strides towards the production of quality parts and might not be the preferred choice for some prototypes due to higher costs.

  • Advantages of rapid prototyping

    Reduced design & development time Reduced overall product development cost Elimination or reduction of risk Allows functionality testing Improved and increased user involvement Ability to evaluate human factors and ergonomics

  • Disadvantages of rapid prototyping

    Lack of accuracy Added initial costs Some rapid prototyping processes are still expensive and not economical Material properties like surface finish and strength cannot be matched Requires skilled labour The range of materials that can be used is limited Overlooking some key features because they cannot be prototyped End-user confusion customers mistaking it for the finished project/developer misunderstanding of user objectives
