Plastic functional parts for small series using vacuum casting

Vacuum casting - an appropriate addition to 3D printing and injection molding for a quantity range of 100-1,000 pieces. Functionally suitable materials are processed (similar to injection molding granulates), which are also cast in the customer's RAL color - with manageable mold making cost.

If the injection moulding tool is not yet profitable: Vacuum Casting of Plastic:
Small series of plastic parts with special plastic properties or in the color of the customer's CI are cast using silicone molds, which are produced with the help of 3D-printed, initial master models. Depending on the geometric complexity and surface requirements, 20-100 polyurethane plastic parts can be cast using a single silicone mold, in some cases with multiple cavities. A wide range of materials with a broad spectrum of properties and all colors are available. The addition of glass fiber is also possible to a limited extent.
In addition to vacuum casting, injection molding machines with appropriate prototype tools are also available for small series or repeat orders.
