Vacuum Casting Services at Koonze Model
Vacuum casting is a process that uses polyurethane resins to create high-quality replicas from a silicone mold made from a 3D-printed master.
This method produces bubble-free, detailed parts similar to injection molding but with faster, more cost-effective production, making it perfect for prototyping, small to medium runs, and end-use parts.
At Koonze Model, we specialize in vacuum casting, ensuring parts up to 30 inches with minimal dimensional shrinkage (+0.15%) and maintaining tight tolerances for complex designs.
Our service is flexible, offering custom solutions like clear or color-matched parts, special finishes, and EMI shielding. We also incorporate inserts during casting for enhanced functionality.
Koonze Model’s vacuum casting provides a reliable, cost-effective alternative to injection molding, offering a fast and quality-assured solution for both prototypes and small-scale production.

Advantages of Vacuum Casting
Production Quality at Low Volumes
Achieve production-grade parts with low-volume runs, ideal for small batches and rapid prototyping. Get high-quality, durable components without the high cost or lead times of traditional methods.
Complex Elastomeric Parts
Create intricate, flexible parts that require elastomeric qualities, perfect for prototypes or functional parts that need to mimic production materials closely.
High Level of Detail
Capture precise, detailed designs with vacuum casting, allowing for complex geometries and fine features to be replicated with exceptional accuracy.
Applications of Urethane Casting
Low-Volume Production
Urethane cast parts are ideal for low-volume production, offering a cost-effective alternative to injection molding, especially when tooling investment isn't justified. They are also perfect for first-run parts, which can be delivered weeks ahead of production tooling.
Advanced Prototyping
The urethane casting process, along with affordable tooling, allows for easy and cost-efficient design adjustments. Moreover, the same mold can accommodate different materials, enabling you to test designs with multiple material options.
Market Testing
With excellent end-user functionality and a smooth finish, urethane cast parts are perfect for consumer testing, user feedback, and concept models. This process allows rapid adjustments, ensuring quick iteration for testing or market launch.
When to Consider Vacuum Casting
Prototyping Method | Material | Detail | Speed & Volume | Cost |
---|---|---|---|---|
Vacuum Casting | Production-grade plastics & elastomers | High detail, smooth finish | Fast for low volumes (a few days) | Cost-effective for small runs |
3D Printing | Plastic, resin | Complex shapes, requires finishing | Quick for small runs, slow for mass | Costly for large volumes |
CNC Machining | Metal, plastic | High precision, tight tolerances | Slower, best for larger runs | Expensive for small volumes |
Injection Molding | Production plastics | Consistent, high precision | Best for large volumes, slow setup | Expensive for small runs |

FAQs on Vacuum Casting Services
Lead times typically range from 1 day to 7 days, depending on the complexity of the part, material selection, and production volume.
Silicone molds in urethane casting have a limited lifespan (about 20 uses), and we dispose of them after production. However, you can keep the 3D printed or CNC machined master model by discussing it with us directly.
Urethane casting is a cost-effective alternative to injection molding, especially for low-volume runs, and delivers excellent surface finishes.
Urethane casting offers superior material performance and finish compared to 3D printing, providing parts that closely resemble those used in commercial products. It’s a better choice when material properties and appearance are key.
Urethane casting is ideal for creating visually appealing prototypes, but it’s also suitable for non-mechanical end-use parts like covers and enclosures.
