For injection moulded quality finish and performance without the cost and delays of injection moulding tools, vacuum-casting is the ideal process. It is used extensively for functional prototypes for marketing and consumer trials or as production parts for lower volume. At idcmodels we have pushed the limits of this process and can achieve the following:

• broad range of material properties made to match production plastics
• elastomers and rubber materials
• twin shot mouldings incorporating elastomer overmoulds
• threads, inserts and captive electronics
• multiple cavity tools
• large mouldings (up to 0.8m length)
