Rapid Custom Manufacturing

Vacuum Casting (Polyurethane Casting) specializes in low volume production and making rubber parts that could not be CNC milled. Firstly, place a master model made by CNC or SLA into a box, then pour debubbled liquid silicone rubber into the box to fully cover master model, after that cure liquid silicone rubber by heating, finally split the cured silicone rubber and take out master model to get the silicone rubber mold for vacuum casting.

Vacuum Casting delivers the benefits of rapid & cheap tooling, wide material options, intended surface finishing (color, texture, gloss). One silicone tooling injects 10-25 shots depending on part design and material, and casting tolerance ±0.15/100 mm. At Honkia, we use vacuum casting material imported from Hei-Cast (Japan) and Axson (France) for the properties of well-controlled shrinkage and debubbling.
