Expert Vacuum Casting Services by WHALE STONE 3D

At WHALE STONE 3D, we provide expert vacuum casting services designed to deliver high-quality prototypes and small-batch production parts. Vacuum casting is a precise method for creating detailed and accurate parts using silicone molds and liquid resins. The process starts with the creation of a master pattern, which is used to produce a silicone mold. Once the mold is ready, it is placed in a vacuum chamber where liquid resin is poured in. The vacuum removes air bubbles, ensuring the resin fills every detail of the mold. After curing, the mold is removed to reveal parts with exceptional surface finish and accuracy. Vacuum casting is highly valued for its ability to produce complex and intricate designs with high precision. It is an ideal choice for industries that require detailed prototypes and functional parts, such as automotive, aerospace, and medical devices.

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.

vacuum casting FAQ

What is vacuum casting and how does it work?

acuum casting is a manufacturing process used to produce high-quality prototypes and small-batch production parts. The process involves creating a silicone mold from a master pattern. Once the mold is prepared, it is placed in a vacuum chamber where liquid resin is poured into it. The vacuum removes air bubbles and ensures that the resin fills every detail of the mold. After curing, the mold is removed to reveal the cast part. This method is ideal for producing accurate, detailed parts with a smooth finish.
Vacuum casting supports a range of materials, including polyurethane resins, silicone, and various specialized casting resins. The choice of material depends on the specific requirements of the project, such as the desired strength, flexibility, or appearance of the final product. WHALE STONE 3D offers various material options to meet different needs, from durable functional parts to high-quality aesthetic prototypes.
Vacuum casting is commonly used in various industries for different applications. It is ideal for creating functional prototypes, design verification models, and low-volume production parts. Typical applications include automotive parts, consumer electronics, medical devices, and industrial components. WHALE STONE 3D's vacuum casting service is versatile and can cater to a wide range of industry needs, delivering precise and high-quality results.
The timeline for a vacuum casting project depends on several factors, including the complexity of the design, the size of the parts, and the number of molds required. Generally, the process involves creating the silicone mold, preparing the resin, and curing the parts. For most projects, the entire process can be completed in a few weeks. WHALE STONE 3D works efficiently to ensure timely delivery while maintaining high-quality standards for your vacuum casting needs.
