Vacuum Casting

OUR SERVICES

At Leading Edge, we specialize in vacuum casting to create high-quality prototypes and small-batch parts that closely mimic the properties of production-grade components. This versatile and cost-effective method is perfect for replicating intricate designs, testing functionality, and achieving stunning aesthetics without the need for expensive tooling.

Capabilities

Our capabilities

Vacuum casting is a manufacturing process that uses silicone molds to produce parts by pouring liquid resin under vacuum conditions. This ensures precise replication of the master model, capturing even the smallest details and achieving excellent surface finishes. The process is ideal for creating prototypes, pre-production runs, or functional parts in a wide range of applications.

High Fidelity: Accurate reproduction of intricate details, including textures and complex geometries.
Dimensional Accuracy: Tolerances as tight as ±0.1 mm for exceptional precision.
Multiple Cavities: Ability to create multi-cavity molds for increased production efficiency.

Sizes: Suitable for parts ranging from a few millimeters to over 1 meter in length.
Batch Sizes: Ideal for producing 10 to 100 parts per mold, depending on the material and complexity.

Rigid Plastics: Durable and impact-resistant options for functional prototypes.
Flexible Materials: Rubber-like resins for seals, gaskets, and ergonomic components.
Transparent Materials: Crystal-clear resins for optical parts or design showcases.
Heat-Resistant Resins: Materials that can withstand elevated temperatures for demanding applications.

Color Matching: Achieve precise colors with pigment blending or painting.
Surface Finishes: Options for matte, glossy, or textured finishes.
Insert Integration: Incorporation of metal or plastic inserts for hybrid designs.

Process

The vacuum casting process

1. Master Model Creation
A high-precision master model is typically created using 3D printing or CNC machining. This serves as the template for the silicone mold.
2. Part Sizes and Volumes
- Sizes: Suitable for parts ranging from a few millimeters to over 1 meter in length.
- Batch Sizes: Ideal for producing 10 to 100 parts per mold, depending on the material and complexity.
3. Material Preparation
The chosen resin is mixed, degassed, and prepared for casting.
4. Vacuum Casting
Resin is poured into the mold cavity under vacuum conditions to eliminate air bubbles and ensure uniform filling.
5. Curing and Demolding
The resin is cured in an oven or at room temperature, depending on the material, and the part is carefully removed from the mold.
6. Post-Processing
Parts undergo finishing operations such as trimming, painting, or assembly to meet the desired specifications.
