Silicone Mold Vacuum Casting & Rapid tooling for short-run molded plastic parts, The best RP mothed with low cost for rapid manufacturing.
Vacuum casting provides End-use, rigid or flexible plastic parts with production-level quality. Built without expensive and time-consuming hard tooling, vacuum casting is the Ideal process for rigid or soft plastic parts with short-run production & pre-production
At JINGXIN® precision machinery Ltd., has the solution to uses a 3D printer or CNC machined master pattern and silicone molds to provide high-quality vacuum casting plastic parts and over molded parts with soft TPU or rubber. The Maximum size is up to 1200mm long.The general Shrinkage rate of + 0.15% is expected.We have done 1200+ parts for industrial use such as medical device housing, Automotive parts enclosure, Household appliance.etc.
