Vacuum Casting

 

Skeg has an in-house Vacuum Casting facility. This includes a Vacuum Casting machine, Ovens, UV curing area and Measuring equipment. With Vacuum Casting we can generate duplicates of a part. The processes and materials used in vacuum casting enable us to do relevant testing on the parts and do complex prototypes such as rubber over-moulded parts and metal inserts into plastic casings. Typically the parts can be used for market research, mechanical testing and assembly testing. Many of our clients use the cast parts to sell their product and orders are placed based on the prototypes they present. We use a range of resins, rubbers, waxes and pigments to achieve physical properties similar to end production materials.
