WHALE STONE 3D provides its clients unique vacuum casting services across all industrial and non-industrial sectors. Vacuum casting is a specialized manufacturing process used in the buildup of high-quality prototypes and small production components using liquid resins in silicone molds.
The first step in the vacuum casting process is the development of a silicone mold of a master pattern. This silicone mold is then placed in a vacuum chamber, and liquid resin is added. The vacuum eliminates air bubbles which would otherwise cause incomplete filling of the mold hence ensuring the molds are entirely covered and all features captured. After the resin has been cured, the mold is removed to expose a very accurate and nice surface part.
Parts made using custom vacuum casting are in most circumstances, highly complex and intricate in design hence the need for vacuum casting. It has extensive applications in the automotive, aerospace, and consumer product industries where accuracy is of utmost importance. WHALE STONE 3D has a number of resin materials including polyurethane and silicone for various project specifications.
Cost efficiency remains one of the most critical advantages of vacuum casting for small to medium runs of production. Since vacuum casting does not require expensive molds, mass production of small quantities is very economical. Therefore it is perfectly suited for prototyping and successive design stages when changes and fast turnaround are necessary.
WHALE STONE 3D guarantees high-quality fulfillment of the tasks set for each vacuum casting project. In particular, we take care that every mold is well prepared and every detail is cast in a careful environment.
