Applications

Short production runs

Faster production runs with wider material availability

larger size prototypes >1 metre

Relatively larger size prototypes can be easily produced with minimal post processing

Color & texture studies

Validation samples for texture and colors to pretest for tooling runs

Functional parts

direct substitute of injection molded materials available which are highly functional

Display models

Art piece models for display or product display for demonstrations

Spare parts and end use parts

Produce on-demand spare parts when replacement needed

What are the Benefits of Vacuum casting for the Production?

vacuum casting is a commonly used rapid prototyping process for many applications, including pre-series prototyping, pre-series testing and validation, and small series batches for early-market products

Freedom of design

Complex structures

Increased productivity level
