Silicone vacuum casting is a rapid prototyping technique where silicone molds are used to cast low volumes of parts, typically from polyurethane or other resins. It allows for fast production of parts with fine details and is ideal for testing designs and creating short-run production parts in industries like automotive, medical, and consumer products.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Maximum Part Size | Typically up to 47” x 23” x 20” (1,200 x 600 x 500 mm); larger parts may require multiple castings or custom mold splitting. |
| Standard Lead Time | 7–10 business days for first articles; faster for simple parts or with existing masters. |
| General Tolerances | ±0.010”–0.015” (±0.25–0.38 mm) |
| Precision Tolerances | ±0.005” (±0.127 mm) achievable in stable areas of small parts with high-quality masters and controlled casting conditions. |
| Minimum Feature Size | ~0.020” (0.5 mm); fine details replicate well if the master is accurate and properly finished. |
| Wall Thickness | Recommended minimum: 0.040” (1.0 mm). |
| Draft Angle | 1°–3° recommended to improve demolding from flexible silicone molds. |
At Elite Mold Tech, we apply precise finishing techniques to replicate production-level finishes and enhance the aesthetics, feel, and performance of cast parts.
