Besides additive techniques, Aluminium die casting (China) Limited offers another type of RP: manufacture of components and small series in silicone moulds. Stereolithography masters are used to build these moulds. Vacuum casting lead times are a bit longer than with 3D printing technology but the result is astounding. Products made in silicone moulds have a quality comparable to the final product, which makes them especially suitable for fit and function testing and marketing purposes.
Vacuum Casting is widely used for producing accurate silicone tools for casting parts with fine details and very thin walls. Vacuum castings are precise replicas of the patterns, dimensionally accurate without blemishes, with all profiles and textures faithfully reproduced. Casting and Rapid Casting for metal prototypes or low volume production of metal parts, rapid investment casting is a quick and easy way to get what you need without the time and cost involved in machining and tooling. We are able to offer you a variety of metals for your requirements. Our casting methods allow us to offer a particularly rapid service �C with delivery of your order within a few days. High-precision patterns enable us to accurately cast your most complex components to the highest standard and definition. As well as producing pre-casting patterns from CAD data, we are also able to cast from supplied wax patterns if required.

Application:
Vacuum casting is an alternative technique for the production of prototype castings which mimic injection moulded parts such as ABS, PP, PMMA, PA and different grades of rubber. Using the MCP Heated Cup Module, complex, accurate wax models for investment casting can be produced.
