In addition to money, you might waste time by making the wrong decision. This guide post will discuss the different materials used in this technology as well as their applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you choose, we have compiled a list of Xometry&#8217;s numerous available <a href=\"https:\/\/xometry.eu\/en\/vacuum-casting\/\">vacuum casting<\/a> resins. Rubber and plastics (ABS, PC, PMMA, and PP) account for the most common materials.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-abs-grade-materials\"><strong>ABS Grade Materials<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/en-eu\/materials\/abs\/\">ABS<\/a> is commonly employed in vacuum casting. It offers a good balance of properties and is easy to process due to its low melt viscosity. It displays good toughness, rigidity, and impact strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABS has good dimensional stability, meaning that parts made from it will not warp or distort over time. In addition, it exhibits excellent chemical resistance and can be used in various applications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vacuum casting, also called urethane casting or polyurethane casting, is a popular choice for manufacturing small batches of parts due to its relatively low cost and quick turnaround time. ABS is an ideal choice due to its combination of properties and easy processing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pu8150-abslike\"><strong>PU8150, ABS-like<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/en-eu\/materials\/abs-pu8150\/\">PU8150<\/a> is a common material because of its excellent abrasion resistance and wear resistance, making it useful in many different settings.

thermoplastic polymer used in various applications. It is distinguished from other plastics by its high heat and chemical damage resistance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also very lightweight and durable, making it an ideal material for vacuum casting. When heated, PP expands and becomes malleable, making it easy to shape into any desired form. This makes PP an excellent choice for creating prototypes and complex parts with intricate designs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vacuum casting is a versatile manufacturing process that can produce small or large batches of high-quality parts with precise dimensional tolerances.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8550-pplike\"><strong>8550, PP-like<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>8550 is made by combining Polyol with Isocyanate in a 1:2 ratio.
