Production with Aluminum Molding:
The Aluminum Molding Technique is a way of conventional injection moulding. First, the injection mould must be manufactured using a CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) machine. Like in Vacuum Casting, a master model is required to determine the shape of the used mould and the manufactured object. The most significant difference is the mould’s material; in Vacuum Casting, the mould is made out of silicone; Aluminum Molding consists of aluminium. Depending on the object’s final shape, this technique can have various advantages in pre-mass production.
Compared to silicone mould, aluminium mould is much more solid and durable. Its production quantity can differ based on the object’s size, used material and required pressure between 1,000 to 5,000 units.
Because of its density advantage, aluminium is a more effective material for mould than industrial steel.
