Fast turnaround

Master models, silicone molds, and vacuum cast parts can be produced in a matter of days, depending on part complexity and quantity.

Cost effective for low volumes

Cost effective for low volumes

Vacuum casting does not require hard steel tooling, making it a good option for bridge runs and pre production builds.

Consistent quality

Consistent quality

Silicone molds capture fine details and provide repeatable dimensions and surface finish for each casting.

Cosmetic surface finish

Cosmetic surface finish

Parts can be polished, painted, dyed, or clear coated to achieve near injection molded appearance for show models or functional testing.

Looking for a Vacuum Casting Supplier in China?

Looking for a Vacuum Casting Supplier in China?

If you are searching for a vacuum casting supplier, factory, or manufacturer in China, WJ Prototypes can support you from quotation through to delivery. Our facilities in China combines vacuum casting with CNC machining and 3D printing to produce urethane cast parts that match your design and appearance requirements. We work directly with product designers, engineers, buyers, and founders who need reliable low volume manufacturing support in China.

You can send your CAD files and requirements, and our engineering team will review your design, suggest suitable materials, and provide an itemized quote.

How Our Vacuum Casting Process Works

Upload CAD & requirements
Step 1

Upload CAD & requirements

You share your 3D files (STEP, IGES, STL) along with basic information such as material preference, color, quantity, and target surface finish. Our engineers check manufacturability and provide a quotation with estimated lead time.

Master model & silicone tooling
Step 2

Master model & silicone tooling

After approval, we create a precision master model using CNC machining or industrial 3D printing. This master is used to make silicone molds under vacuum, capturing fine details and the required geometry.

Vacuum casting & finishing
Step 3

Vacuum casting & finishing

We pour liquid polyurethane into the silicone molds inside a vacuum chamber to minimize bubbles and voids. Once cured, parts are removed, trimmed, and finished based on your specification, such as polishing, painting, clear coating, or dyeing.

Step 4

Inspection & global shipping

Each batch is inspected according to your requirements. Parts are carefully packed and shipped from our facility in China to your location, with tracking information shared after dispatch.

Vacuum Casting Materials & Surface Finishes

Common Material Families

Vacuum casting uses polyurethane and similar casting resins to simulate common engineering plastics. We offer several “ like” material families to match the mechanical and cosmetic needs of your parts, along with multiple surface finishing options.

Material Family
Typical Use Cases
Notes
ABS-like
ABS-like
Housings, enclosures, general prototypes
Rigid, good impact resistance, available in custom Pantone colors.
PP-like
PP-like
Hinges, clips, snap-fit parts
More flexible, good fatigue resistance, color matching available.
Nylon-like
Nylon-like
Functional parts requiring toughness
Higher strength and impact resistance for demanding tests.

Other urethane systems, including clear resins, rubber like materials, and higher temperature options, may be available depending on your needs. Our team can recommend specific choices when we review your project.

Surface Finishes

Not sure which material or finish fits your design? Mention your requirements in the quote form and our engineers will make recommendations.

Clear Coat
Surface Finishes

Clear Coat

Clear coat for transparent or translucent parts that need improved clarity or protection.

Painting
Surface Finishes

Painting

Painting, including soft touch and custom Pantone colors, for enclosure grade parts and show models.

Heat Treatment
Surface Finishes

Heat Treatment

Harden and strengthen metal 3D prints with multiple heat treatment options: NADCAP heat treatment, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), solution annealing, and aging.

Dyeing
Surface Finishes

Dyeing

Dyeing for cost effective solid colors on suitable materials.

Plating
Surface Finishes

Plating

Plating or metallic coatings to achieve a metal like appearance for some prototypes.

Polishing
Surface Finishes

Polishing

Polishing to increase gloss and smooth the surface for more cosmetic components.

Decaling
Surface Finishes

Decaling

Decaling can be used to add a logo or other graphics to boost cosmetics or function.

Is Vacuum Casting Right for Your Project?

Vacuum casting is a good fit when you need realistic plastic parts in small to medium quantities without building full production tooling. It works well between early prototyping and full scale injection molding.

Typical applications

Typical applications

Appearance models for design reviews, presentations, and customer demonstrations.

Functional prototypes for fit, assembly, and limited performance testing.

Small batch pre production runs before committing to injection mold tooling.

Low volume end use parts where traditional tooling cost would be difficult to justify. ​

Industries we support

Industries we support

Automotive interior and exterior components such as covers, handles, and housings.

Medical and laboratory device housings and test fixtures.

Consumer electronics and smart home product enclosures.

Robotics, automation, and industrial equipment components.

Share your next project with us to see if vacuum casting is the right process or if another manufacturing option would be better.
