The new processes join the technologies of <a href=\"https:\/\/xometry.eu\/en\/die-casting\/\">die casting<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/xometry.eu\/en\/injection-moulding\/\">injection molding<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAccess to these two new technologies will deliver additional possibilities to our customers at various stages of their product lifestyles,\u201d said Dmitry Kafidov, Managing Director at Xometry Europe. \u201cVacuum casting is a prototyping alternative to 3D printing and injection molding, while compression molding often outperforms injection molding for production parts with composite materials.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compression molding uses heat and pressure to shape a product into its final form. The process uses a heated cavity and a vertical press mechanism to form the desired mold. The process wastes less material than injection molding, as it requires no sprue channels, cones or gate. This also means that compression molding produces an aesthetically and functionally finished surface. In addition, the process is particularly suitable for large, flat or curved parts. It\u2019s also an excellent choice for producing functional prototypes and small series due to the simplicity of compression molding equipment and low mold-making costs. The automotive industry uses compression molding to produce many large plastic parts and panels. In electronics, it\u2019s often used for switches, panels, or sockets. The medical sector also uses this process to manufacture plastic and silicone parts such as respiratory masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vacuum casting is suitable for producing solid, flexible, and rubber-like parts for end use. In this case, the process uses 3D-printed master models and silicone molds. This enables the rapid production of high-quality parts with a length of up to 760 mm. The final dimension of the urethane cast parts depends on the accuracy of the master model, the part geometry, and the casting material. Vacuum casting is an ideal alternative to small batch injection molding and works well with a wide range of materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About&nbsp; Xometry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xometry (XMTR) powers the industries of today and tomorrow by connecting the people with big ideas to the manufacturers who can bring them to life.
