A quick vid showing the Vacuum Casting Process used in rapid prototyping. Malcolm Nicholls Limited has been vacuum casting since the 1970s.
Masters from any source are used to produce silicon tools from which PU castings can be produced in a wide array of materials to simulate most engineering plastics.
We can produce PU castings in the following material simulants or properties: ABS, Polypropylene, Nylon, Glass-filled Nylon, Polycarbonate, TPE, Hytrel, HDPE, etc. Temperature specific materials, flexible materials with A Shore ratings as low as 30A up to 90A and D Shore ratings also. Most of the above are available in clear (with the notable exception of the high-temp one).
