Vacuum casting for Car
1. Master Pattern Creation: The process begins with the creation ofa master pattern of the car part, which can be made usingvarious techniques such as CNC machining, 3D printing, ortraditional molding methods. This master pattern serves as thebasis for creating the silicone molds.
Silicone Mold Making: A silicone mold is created by encasing the2master pattern in liquid silicone rubber and allowing it to cure.Once cured, the silicone mold is cut open to remove the masterpattern, leaving behind a cavity that matches the shape of theoriginal part.
3.Vacuum Casting: The silicone mold is placed in a vacuumchamber, and liquid resin is poured into the mold cavity. Thevacuum chamber is then sealed and the air is evacuated,creating a vacuum inside the mold,This vacuum helps to removeany air bubbles from the resin and ensures that it fills the moldcompletely and evenly.
4.Curing: After the resin has been poured into the mold cavity, it isallowed to cure or harden, The curing process can take severalhours or days depending on the type of resin used and thedesired properties of the final part.
5. Demolding: Once the resin has fully cured, the silicone mold isremoved from the vacuum chamber, and the cured part isremoved from the mold cavity, Any excess material or flasharound the edges of the part may be trimmed or removed asneeded.
6.Finishing: The cast parts may undergo additional finishingprocesses such as sanding, painting, or plating to achieve thedesired surface finish and appearance.
