High-Quality Vacuum Casting with WHALE STONE 3D

Discover high-quality vacuum casting services at WHALE STONE 3D, where we specialize in producing detailed prototypes and small-batch parts. Vacuum casting is an advanced manufacturing technique that involves creating a silicone mold from a master prototype. This mold is then used to cast parts in a vacuum chamber, where liquid resin is poured. The vacuum removes air bubbles and ensures that the resin fills every detail of the mold. After curing, the mold is removed, revealing parts with a smooth surface and precise dimensions. Vacuum casting is ideal for producing complex and intricate designs, making it suitable for various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and medical. At WHALE STONE 3D, we offer a range of resin materials, such as polyurethane and silicone, to meet diverse project requirements. This allows us to deliver high-quality parts that meet both functional and aesthetic standards.

WHALE STONE 3D offers the most sophisticated services of vacuum casting suitable for preparing high quality samples and the production of small batches. Vacuum casting is a production method which utilizes liquid resins and silicone molds for making small intricate and precise parts.

The aim of the vacuum casting process is similar; a silicone rubber mold is made from a master pattern. A liquid resin is then poured into a vacuum chamber which has the mold. The purpose of the vacuum chamber is to eradicate air-pockets so the resin can seep into the molds filling it completely to all the intricacies. Once the part is cured the mold is stripped to obtain a part that is of better finishing than the injection moulds and more accurate.

This method makes it easy to manufacture complex shapes and fine details which are not easy to manufacture by the conventional way. Vacuum casting is a great help to automotive, aerospace, consumption electronics industries that need high-quality prototypes and parts. WHALE STONE 3D could suggest a dozen type of resin materials including polyurethane and silicone to meet different needs of the projects.

When it comes to small to medium production runs, vacuum casting is another low cost option. This removes expensive tooling costs and permits narrowed production runs at reasonable rates. This is particularly useful in prototyping and an iterative design approach as there is a need for quick changes and testing.

WHALE STONE 3D maintains high standards of operation and particular attention is directed to even the ordinary vacuum casting processes. Our focus is in providing quality parts that meet the specific requirements of each and every one of our customers. The method prevents the warpage tolerance, however the aesthetics of the end product may require additional treatments.

In the last place deliveries few low and medium cost prototypes – WHALE STONE 3D vacuum casting services are accurate, flexible and applicable for most of the client needs.

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.
