EPT specialize in Rapid Vacuum Casting (also referred to as room temperature vulcanization/RTV) to create short run quantities of production-like parts at low cost to the customer.
Vacuum casting offers a wide range of options for companies needing specific finishes,materials, or other features in their prototypes. We have the ability to simulate a full range of thermoplastics and elastomers, and we can also over-mold one material over another to simulate, for example, rubber over ABS, or opaque plastic over transparent plastic. It is also possible to over-mold threaded inserts.
After casting, painting and printing is common, although polyurethane casted parts can be colored in the mold. EPT also specialize in producing high-gloss clear parts by using a CNC machined and polished acrylic master model. Polyurethane casted clear parts are very high quality.
We can create small and large urethane cast parts with production-like aesthetics and material properties for a range of applications, including medical and healthcare, military, automotive, electronics packaging, consumer products, and others.
