Does your project require a low volume of high-quality plastic or rubber-like prototypes or end-use parts? HLH Proto’s vacuum mold casting service can deliver without the lead time and cost of production tooling. Vacuum casting is a versatile manufacturing process that can produce parts of almost any size, from small headphones to large and lengthy car bumpers. Moreover, a wide range of materials is available for projects, especially when you engage a seasoned provider.
HLH Proto offers vacuum casting for low-volume end-use production and prototyping. The company has successfully produced rubber parts, rapid iterations, and products that helped designers and engineers with market testing. With vacuum casting, HLH Proto can produce self-colored parts and production-grade components while requiring a low upfront investment.
Here is a more in-depth look at the company’s vacuum casting capabilities:
Rapid prototyping: Vacuum mold castingis a low-cost tooling solution that produces parts cost-effectively and quickly.Production parts: Molding can deliver thousands to millions of identical production-grade parts and items. At HLH Proto, a custom mold is ideal for the low-volume production of self-colored parts.Meeting industry standards: HLH Proto has up-to-date industry certifications like ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and ISO 1400, ensuring all urethane casting procedures and the resulting parts comply with industry standards.
Material options
HLH Proto can cast parts in high-quality materials with properties similar to popular plastics like PC, ABS, PP, PA, and PMMA. Some types of ABS have flame-retardant properties, while materials similar to PC are transparent. In addition, the company offers transparent soft rubber material with adjustable color.
How is it done?
Vacuum mold casting is a process where the liquid material is poured into a custom mold to solidify. It involves a vacuum to ensure air isn’t in the mold and allow the part to form correctly. This makes the process ideal for casting rubber and plastic parts for small-scale production runs.
HLH Proto’s vacuum casting service is quicker than other manufacturing processes, such as injection molding. Plus, it can be less expensive for quick and low-volume production. Its main advantages are repeatability and accuracy, making it ideal for projects that demand precise dimensions. Moreover, it can accommodate intricate designs. That said, urethane casting is not the best for making parts that will be subject to intense heat or pressure.
