Vacuum Casting & Silicon Molding
Vacuum casting is used for materials that cannot be cut from or carved out of an original block of material. After making an initial pattern, a silicone mold is made based on the pattern. This allows the desired material to be casted (poured into pattern cavity and hardened). This method allows for the prototyping of clear plastics and rubber parts. Normally, a vacuum casted mold is good for approximately 10-15 pieces.
WB Engineering Company, based in Miami, Florida, likely offers professional vacuum casting and silicone molding services. Vacuum casting is a versatile manufacturing process that involves creating multiple copies of a prototype or part using silicone molds. This method is ideal for producing small to medium production runs with high-quality details and intricate designs.
Silicone molding, on the other hand, is a technique used to replicate objects by creating a flexible mold from a master pattern. This process is known for its ability to produce detailed and complex shapes, making it suitable for various industries, including product design, automotive, and aerospace.

Vacuum Casting and silicone molds are perfect for short run production. Vacuum castings produce prototypes that are precise replicas of the mold that are also dimensionally and texturally accurate. The process starts by placing a two piece silicone mold in a vacuum chamber. The raw material is poured into the mold. The vacuum process draws the liquid into the mold to create the shape. The casting is then cured in an oven, the mold is removed, and the casting is complete!
