Shenzhen StrongD Model Co., Ltd. has its own vacuum mold-reproduction workshop, specializing in silicone vacuum casting services, which are suitable for small batch rapid replication of plastic and soft rubber parts. This process uses silicone molds and industrial-grade PU materials to achieve high-precision replication of master molds under vacuum conditions, which is suitable for applications such as prototype verification, structural testing, and exhibition samples. We support one-stop delivery services from structural evaluation, master mold production to finished molds. The parts have a smooth surface and stable strength, which is close to the level of injection molding, but without the need for high mold investment. StrongD has provided highly simulated and efficient customized mold-reproduction solutions for customers in multiple industries such as consumer electronics, automobiles, medical care, and robotics.

Vacuum Casting Silicone Mould Parts Product Description

 

In the manufacturing processes such as product development, sample verification, and small batch production, Vacuum Casting has become an ideal solution for plastic parts proofing and small and medium batch replication due to its advantages such as low cost, short cycle, high precision, and strong adaptability. We provide professional Vacuum Casting silicone mold parts manufacturing services, which are widely used in multiple industries such as automobiles, electronics, medical, home appliances, robots, and consumer products, helping customers shorten the R&D cycle, verify product design, and reduce mold opening risks.

 

StrongD Vacuum Casting silicone mould parts is a process technology that uses silicone molds and PU resin materials to complete the replication of parts under vacuum. The operation process is: the main model is molded by silicone to obtain a mold cavity, liquid polyurethane or similar resin materials are added, bubbles are eliminated in a vacuum, and the mold is cured at room temperature or constant temperature. After demolding, a highly restored replica is obtained.

 

It is suitable for rapid proofing, small batch trial production, functional verification and structural testing, especially for early injection molding verification, assembly structure testing and product appearance evaluation.

The Core Process of Vacuum Casting Silicone Mould Parts Includes

 

Prototype Master Mold Production

Usually, the first model is made by CNC processing or 3D printing (SLA/SLS) as a template for the silicone mold.

01

Silicone Mould Parts Casting

The master mold is embedded in the frame, and the mixed liquid silicone is poured in. After vacuum exhaust, it is cured and formed.

02

Vacuum Casting Parts Replication

Preheated PU resin is injected into the silicone mold, and the air is extracted by a vacuum machine to form a stable structure.

03

Curing and Demoulding

The mold is placed in a constant temperature box for heating and curing. Usually, the mold can be removed after 2 to 4 hours.

04

Post-Processing Processing

Includes secondary processing such as cutting trimming, painting, electroplating, silk screen printing, polishing, etc. to improve appearance and functionality.

05

 

Standard Production Process

 

In order to ensure the high quality and high consistency of each part, we have developed a standardized production process:

Customers provide 3D drawings (STEP, IGS, etc.)

Project engineers analyze the structure and material requirements

CNC or 3D printing master mold production

Mold design and silicone injection molding

Vacuum injection replication, temperature and ratio control

Finished product demoulding, trimming, surface treatment

Dimension detection and functional testing

Quality inspection, classification and packaging, delivery

Each project is followed up by a professional project manager to ensure timely delivery.

 

FAQ

 

Q1: What is the main difference between Vacuum Casting service and injection molding?

A: Injection molding is suitable for mass production, with high mold cost but low unit price; Vacuum Casting is suitable for small-batch production, with low initial cost, fast cycle, and unlimited structural complexity.

Q2: What master model manufacturing methods do you support?

A: 3D printing master molds and CNC master molds can be accepted. It is recommended that the surface be polished or high-precision processed to obtain better mold effects.

Q3: How many pieces can be copied from a set of silicone molds?

A: Usually the life of silicone molds is 10 to 25 times, depending on the complexity, material and size of the parts.

Q4: Does it support soft glue or transparent parts?

A: Yes, we often use PU transparent materials and rubber-like materials to make soft touch parts.

Q5: Can the parts be post-processed?

A: It supports spraying, electroplating, silk screen printing, laser engraving, assembly, metal insert duplication and other secondary processing.
