What Is ABS Vacuum Casting?
Fundición al vacío de ABS is a specialized manufacturing process that uses vacuum pressure to infuse liquid ABS resin into a prefabricated mold, creating high-fidelity replicas of prototypes or end-use parts. This technology leverages the unique ABS properties—including impact resistance, heat stability, and dimensional rigidity—to produce components that meet strict industry standards.
En su núcleo, the process eliminates air bubbles and ensures uniform resin distribution, resulting in parts with smooth surfaces and consistent structural integrity. Unlike traditional casting methods, Vacuum Casting technology enables rapid production of low-to-medium volume runs without the high costs of metal tooling.

Proceso: Step-by-Step Workflow of ABS Vacuum Casting
El Fundición al vacío de ABS process is a streamlined, repeatable workflow designed to maximize efficiency and minimize defects. Below is a detailed breakdown of each stage:
Paso 1: Mold Preparation
Primero, we create a master mold (typically from silicone or aluminum) using your 3D model or physical prototype. The mold is engineered to capture every detail—from surface textures to intricate features—and is treated to ensure easy demolding.
Paso 2: Resin Mixing
We blend ABS resin con especializado aditivos (for enhanced flexibility or heat resistance) y catalysts (to control curing time). The mixture is stirred under vacuum to remove air bubbles, a critical step for preventing voids in the final part.
Paso 3: Vacuum Chamber Infusion
The mixed resin is poured into the mold, which is then placed in a vacuum chamber. The chamber is sealed, and vacuum pressure (típicamente -0.95 bar) is applied to draw the resin into every corner of the mold, ensuring complete filling.
Paso 4: Curing Process
The mold is heated to 60–80°C to accelerate resin curing. Cure time varies by part thickness (1–4 hours for most components) and is monitored to avoid over-hardening, which can cause brittleness.
Paso 5: Desmoldeo & Postprocesamiento
Una vez curado, the mold is opened, and the part is removed. Post-processing steps (p.ej., trimming excess resin, pulido) are performed to achieve the desired finish.
Materiales: Choosing the Right ABS Resin & Aditivos
The success of Fundición al vacío de ABS depends on selecting high-quality materials that align with your part’s performance needs. We source premium ABS resin from trusted resin suppliers and offer a range of additives to enhance functionality.
| Tipo de material | Propósito |
| ABS resin | Base material providing durability, resistencia al impacto, and machinability. |
| Aditivos | Improve UV resistance, retardante de llama, or flexibility (p.ej., plasticizers). |
| Rellenos | Reduce cost or enhance strength (p.ej., fibra de vidrio, talc). |
| Catalysts | Control curing speed to ensure uniform hardening. |
Our preferred resin suppliers include Sabic, LG Chem, and Chi Mei Corporation—brands known for consistent quality and compliance with global safety standards (p.ej., RoHS, ALCANZAR).
Tratamiento superficial: Enhancing Aesthetics & Actuación
después del casting, parts can undergo tratamiento superficial to improve appearance, durabilidad, o funcionalidad. We offer a range of finishing options to match your project’s needs:
- Cuadro: Custom color matching (using Pantone or RAL codes) for parts requiring brand alignment.
