I’m exploring alternatives to 3D printing for the production of small series. Can vacuum casting be used with thermoplastics or is it limited to thermosetting materials? I’m looking for ideas and experiences on this.

Hi Giulio,

In Vacuum casting you inject both thermoplastics and thermosets materials. Have a look below on what standard materials we have available for auto-quote on Xometry platform. You can also have a deep look on the link below:
