Resin casting capabilities include a custom 30 gallon vacuum chamber for de-gassing both resins and silicone, ensuring perfect bubble free castings. We also have a custom built 250 gallon pressure tank for casting large parts in 2 piece closed molds. This gives us the unique ability to cast very large parts without having to worry about surface imperfections or air bubbles being trapped in the undercut areas of the mold being used.
