  In the world of manufacturing, two popular techniques often considered by engineers and designers are vacuum casting and injection moulding. Depending on project requirements, these methods offer different benefits and may serve various purposes. By exploring the strengths and limitations of vacuum casting and  injection moulding , you can make a more informed decision for your production line. Vacuum Casting – an Overview Vacuum casting involves pouring liquid polyurethane into a silicone mould, which cures into a solid part. The master pattern for this mould is normally created using  3D printing  or  CNC machining , and can carry fine detailing. This method is widely appreciated for its quick turnaround times and is ideal for low-to medium-volume production runs. A tool or mould will typically deliver between 25 and 50 parts without compromising the end part. Originally published here:  https://quickparts.com/gb/vacuum-casting-or-injection-moulding/

Sheet Metal services come in a variety of capabilities such as bending, shearing, staking, and stamping. These parts are commonly used in drilling, tapping, counterboring, and countersinking operations. Sheet metal parts can fit many projects, from simple bent sheet metal prototypes to production runs of complex, multi-part assemblies.  Quickparts produces sheet metal parts through laser cutting, water jet, or chemical etching processes to form blanks from sheet metal stock. These blanks are then bent to shape using press brakes or quick custom tooling to form the final geometry. We support all your sheet metal services with our state-of-the-art sheet metal fabrication facility that includes vertically integrated metal forming, laser cutting/punching, CNC machining, welding, and finishing cells to support both prototype and production runs of high-quality sheet metal enclosures and housings. +44 (0) 1494 370088 team.uk@quickparts.com Wycombe Sands, Lane End Road, High Wycombe, HP...

Your supplier will utilise your existing design files to create a master pattern through methods like CNC machining or 3D printing if the part has intricate detailing or is complex. A high-quality silicone mould is then created by encapsulating the master pattern with liquid silicone. Once cured, the mould is split open, allowing for master pattern removal.
