What is Plastic Prototype Manufacturing?
Plastic prototype manufacturing involves several combinations of
complex technologies that enable the rapid production of plastic
parts
required by various industries.Prototype plastic molding or
manufacturing is mostly in demand in the medical industries, where
advanced technologies and manufacturing processes are used for
manufacturing plastic parts such as syringes through specific
methods like injection molding.
Plastic prototype manufacturing includes flexible processes that
involve 3D printing, vacuum casting, injection molding, and CNC
machining. Prototyping helps factories design and visualize the
parts before beginning the manufacturing process. A virtual model
is created before the plastic prototype manufacturing process
begins, and an appropriate method is chosen for production. These
advanced manufacturing features enable rapid production and produce
highly efficient plastic parts.
Plastic prototype manufacturing is adapted mostly by any medical
plastics manufactuier aiming to deliver top-notch plastic molding
solutions to businesses and medical organizations. Mass production
help cope with huge demands, and customizations improve the
results.
What are the applications?
Vacuum casting technology is commonly used in many industries such
as medical devices, electronics, robotics, automotive, household
equipment, cosmetics, etc.
Application and Advantage:
| Short lead times | Silicone Vacuum casting tooling will be finished within 5-8 days；
|
| Low tooling cost | Liquid Silicone is used to build the vacuum casting tooling. it is
very low-cost than steel plastic injection mold;
|
| End-use Application | Silicone Vacuum casting systems produce high-quality parts that
closely replicate the performance attributes of injection moulded
parts;
|
| Speed to market | Best solutions for developing products, fast turnaround to change
the RTV silicone mold to meet market demands in various industries
including medical, consumer electronics, automotive.
|
How does the vacuum casting process work?
The vacuum casting production process is relatively manual and
includes several steps.
| Master Pattern Manufacturing | The master pattern is usually manufactured by SLA 3D printing or
CNC machining. The choice of method depends on the properties and
shape of the part to be produced.
|
| Creation of the silicone mold | The master pattern is used to create the imprint in the silicone
mold, which will be used to duplicate the parts in the selected
material and color. It is also possible to create different types
of surfaces by polishing the mold impressions.
|
| Material preparation and vacuum casting | The polyurethane material will be prepared and dyed in the selected
color if necessary. Then the silicone mold is placed in the vacuum
casting machine and the material is injected into it.
|
| Demolding and solidification | Once the part is cast, the silicone mold is removed and the part is
demolded manually. The piece is then put in the oven (a few minutes
to a few hours depending on the size of the piece) and the casting
operation is repeated several times.
|
| Polishing and application of finishes | during this last step the piece will be deburred and hand finished,
before applying the desired finishes (polishing, painting, marking
etc.)
