Professional Rapid Prototyping & Manufacturing
 Vacuum Casting

Vacuum Casting is a widely used process in rapid prototyping, typically used for building 10 to 50 pieces of functional prototypes out of broad range of polyurethanes and other polymers.

SuNPe owns 3 sets of vacuum casting machines, which can cast prototypes with the max dimension up to 2200mm*1200mm

*1000mm. We can accurately reproduce the prototypes with original color, over-mold, texture and geometries from the master model and components. These plastic castings will closely represent the mechanical properties of the intended production parts from a steel mold. One silicone mold can cast about 15 to 20 pieces of parts, depends on complexity, painting or original color, size and other factors in different parts. The typical lead time is 7 working days for 10 parts.
