Master model
A high-detail master, typically 3D printed, becomes the pattern for every copy.
VACUUM CASTING / NOIDA
Vacuum casting
services in Noida.
Duplicate detailed plastic prototype parts in small to medium quantities from a master model, a silicone mould and cast resin.
01 OVERVIEW
The step between one prototype and tooling.
Vacuum casting copies a master model into a silicone mould, then fills it with cast resin under vacuum. It is a practical way to make a small batch of detailed parts without investing in production tooling.
RPT 3D prepares the master model, makes the mould and casts the copies. Parts can then be finished for presentation, testing or a pilot run.
02 WHAT YOU GET
Detailed copies without production tooling.
Silicone mould
A silicone mould captures fine surface detail from the master.
Resin copies
Cast resin parts reproduce the master in small to medium quantities.
Finishing
Copies can be sanded, painted, textured or coated for presentation or testing.
03 HOW IT WORKS
From master to copies.
- 01
Prepare the master model
We start from your design or scan and produce a detailed master.
- 02
Make the silicone mould
The master is set in silicone to create a reusable mould.
- 03
Cast the parts
Resin is poured into the mould under vacuum to reproduce the master.
- 04

04 WHERE IT HELPS
When vacuum casting makes sense.
- Pilot runs and market testing
- Investor and trade-show samples
- Enclosures and housings
- Detailed consumer product parts
- Functional testing in small batches
- Bridging to production tooling
05 QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
What is vacuum casting?
Vacuum casting is a process that duplicates detailed plastic parts using a master model, a silicone mould and cast resin, usually for small to medium quantities.
How many copies can one mould make?
RPT 3D source information says a silicone mould can be reused around 15 to 20 times. The actual number depends on the part and the project.
When should I choose vacuum casting over 3D printing?
Choose casting when you need several detailed copies with a consistent look. For a single part or an early design, 3D printing is usually quicker.
Can you make the master model?
Yes. We can prepare the master from your CAD file or from a 3D scan of an existing object.
