Vacuum (Urethane) Casting Explained | HLH Rapid

Vacuum casting is the perfect solution for creating a small series of around 20 - 50 high-quality parts cost-effectively. With this high-speed process, you can make soft rubber parts, rigid parts, clear transparent parts, and even small and large components in a single piece.
At HLH, typical lead times for vacuum casting projects are 5 - 10 days

i still have no idea where the vacuum come in. is it the silicone degassing step or is it used somehow in the casting step

[@hlhrapid]

Great question. It's in the casting step. We place the mould in a vacuum chamber and inject PU material in. The vacuum helps 1. 'pull' the material into all the nooks and crannies of the mould 2. avoid trapping air bubbles

[@slummadekell7626]

It's just to get all the air out, possible bubbles in the mold that. Could mess it up

Can i produce hard plastic cover?

[@hlhrapid]

Yup, this is something we can produce. Do you have a 3D CAD? If you could send it to [e-mail], that will help us get started.

Uhhhh....at what point are you going to explain what it actually IS?

[@hlhrapid]

Hi Laura, the explanation is pretty brief. Let us know what type of details you want to know, and we will improve it in the next video 👍🏻
