Economic Prototypes
With vacum casting we produce prototypes that mimic final komponents with great accuracy. It is not only the geometries, but also surface finish and colors are extremly accurate.
The method is used for short series of plastic parts. Parts can be used for manufacturing and testing purposes.
- delivery times 7-21 days
- economical in 5-100 parts
- all through coloring
- VDI surface finish
- alternative materials
- also insert casting
