Polyurethane Vacuum Casting
For successful vacuum casting, a prototype is first created by expert engineers using CNC machining or 3D printing techniques. After the prototype is finalized, a silicone mold is crafted based on this model. The casting material is then vacuum poured into this mold, and upon curing, it replicates the original prototype. This entire procedure is referred to as the vacuum complexity model.

Quasi-ABS
ABS is a widely used engineering plastic that combines the rigidity of resin with the elasticity of rubber. It not only has excellent mechanical properties of toughness, hardness and rigid phase balance, but is widely used in various fields such as machinery, electrical parts, office supplies and daily necessities.
PC-like
Polycarbonate with high strength and elastic coefficient, high impact strength of the mechanical properties, suitable for automobiles, medical, aircraft, household appliances.
Polypropylene like
Polypropylene is one of the lightest resins commonly used and has excellent mechanical properties, including tensile strength, compressive strength and hardness. It is mainly used as parts of automobiles and electrical appliances, various containers, furniture, packaging materials and medical equipment
PMMA
PMMA is the best transparent polymer material at present. In the case of ultraviolet light, PMMA has better stability than polycarbonate. PMMA has the advantages of light weight and easy molding, and is widely used in instrument parts, automotive lights, optical lenses, transparent pipes and so on.
Rubber
Soft rubber materials such as polyurethane, TPU, TPE, rubber and so on. This type of material has been widely used in the field of furniture, construction, daily necessities, transportation, home appliances and so on.

What Our Customers Say
The testimonials from our customers carry more significance than our own assertions. Take a moment to read what our satisfied clients have to say about how we successfully met their needs.
This professional shop is run by two of the most reliable people I have met in the industry. Their quality of work, communication, work ethic, and overall performance warrant more than 5 stars. I was even able to sit down with them and work through my design to ensure manufacturability would not be an issue before making an order with them. I know that that was outside of the scope of work for them, but it goes to show how much they care about their clients. 10/10 would recommend.” -

About the CNC Milling Process
- Process Overview: In polyurethane vacuum casting, a master model, typically created using CNC machining or 3D printing, is used to form a silicone mold. This mold is then used to cast replicas in polyurethane.
- Material Properties: Polyurethane materials used in vacuum casting can mimic a wide range of thermoplastics, offering various levels of flexibility, hardness, and color. This makes it highly adaptable for different applications.
- High-Quality Finish: The process produces parts with excellent surface details and high-quality finishes, closely resembling injection-molded parts.
- Design Flexibility: It is ideal for complex geometries and intricate designs, allowing for undercuts and fine details that might be challenging with other manufacturing methods.
- Rapid Production: Vacuum casting is a fast method for producing small to medium quantities, making it perfect for rapid prototyping and short-run production.
- Cost-Effectiveness: It offers a cost-effective alternative to injection molding for low-volume production, especially when the high cost of mold creation for injection molding is prohibitive.
- Applications: Commonly used in automotive, medical, electronics, and consumer products industries, it is ideal for functional testing, market testing, and aesthetic prototypes.
