Shenzhen Ebyton Technology Ltd.
Ebyton factory vacuum casting| silicone mould:
A silicone mould is the best tool for making a set of parts made of polyurethane in a few days ,with similar characteristics to the final products.
It starts from a master, usually made of stereo lithography, which is coated with silicone fluid to obtain the mould .the impression can be filled with hard or soft resins ,which allow you to obtain up to 25/30 replicas.
Ebyton has a complete workshop for making any kind of tool, modification, adjustment, painting, ect. As well, we make aluminum and other foundry parts.
The technology
The method uses cast silicone molds made as follows: a master model (that typically originates from stereo lithography or selective laser sintering) is carefully prepared to ensure a high quality finish to the surface and the definition of the parting planes. Silicone is cast around the master, partially under vacuum in order to avoid air bubbles being trapped in between the master and silicone. After curing, the mold is cut according to the parting planes and the master is removed, leaving a cavity to make copies. The flexibility of the silicone allows limited undercuts, which might avoid slides or additional parting planes.
Two-component polyurethanes are typically used as copying material. This allows fast production of high quality parts. Vacuum casting is a copying technique typically used for the production of small series (10 to 20) of functional plastic prototypes.
