This article contrasts moulding production and CNC machining, detailing cost, tolerances, lead times, and design considerations. It demonstrates how Shangchen's OEM services—from moulding production to CNC machining, sheet metal, 3D printing, and tooling—support global brands from prototype to mass production with integrated solutions.
This in-depth article compares vacuum casting and compression molding, highlighting their processes, advantages, material compatibility, and applications. Vacuum casting is preferable for highly detailed, low-volume prototyping and parts, while compression molding is suited for medium-volume, strong, functional components. Understanding these differences helps optimize manufacturing choices for cost and quality.
Vacuum casting versus silicone molding: Vacuum casting produces high-quality parts using silicone molds with vacuum technology for smooth, bubble-free finishes ideal for prototype and small batch production. Silicone molding involves creating the flexible molds essential for casting. Understanding their differences ensures optimized manufacturing decisions, balancing cost, speed, and quality.
