We make low-volume production parts and functional prototypes with highly accurate, complex features in a low lead time.
No Heavy-Cost Casting
Why Choose Marcopolo for Vacuum Casting & RIM
Low Lead Time
Large in-house capacity enables seamless production of up to 50 moulds.
Seasoned Expertise at Scale
20+ years, 2,000+ projects for complex parts done with tight timelines and high precision.
Engineering Review and DFM Support
Process experts review each design to optimise geometry, reduce defects, and improve mould performance.
End-to-End Quality Parts
A controlled casting environment and diverse PU grades ensure the production of high-quality parts that are test-ready or field-deployable.
Prototyping and Small Batch Production
Complex Prototypes & Low-Volume Production – Engineered for Perfection
RIM for Large Parts (up to 2m)
Ideal for making large parts in a single piece. Engineered PU material for functional performance.
Vacuum Casting Stations
For small and mid-size plastic parts using silicone moulds, with a diverse range of materials mimicking plastics and rubber.
Paint Shop
High-quality paint shop to achieve the desired colour and finish for prototyping and production.
Assembly Stations
Child part assembly and validation with gap and flush checks.
Polyurethane Materials
Diverse imported materials mimicking ABS, PP, PC, PA, POM, HDPE, etc.
Elastomeric PU for Rubber-Like Flexibility
Ideal for seals, soft-touch surfaces, and overmoulded areas.
Flame-Retardant PU Grades
UL94-V0 certified PU material to for functional testing and regulatory compliance.
Complex Features with High Accuracy
Get all complex features as those of Injection Moulded parts, with high accuracy and precision.
Short Lead Times for 10–100 Units
Part supply initiation in 7 – 10 days, enabling faster product testing and validation.
Overmoulding and Insert Integration
Unlike 3D Printing and Machining, insert-moulding and over-moulding are possible with strong adhesion between inserts & PU.
Consistent Quality with Stage-Wise QC
Controlled process and inspection at every stage ensure dimensional and functional accuracy for end-use or validation parts.
Rapid Prototyping + Low-Volume Manufacturing
Precision Polyurethane Parts that Perform Like Production-Grade Plastics
Marcopolo’s dedicated Vacuum Casting & Reaction Injection Moulding (RIM) facility delivers end-use-quality components that mimic ABS, PP, PA, PC, POM and other engineering plastics, at a fraction of the cost and lead time of Injection Moulding. Ideal for functional testing, product demonstrations, and low-volume production.

Schedule a CallExplore ServicesWhat is vacuum casting used for?
Vacuum casting is ideal for producing functional prototypes and low-volume production parts using polyurethane materials that mimic engineering plastics like ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PP (Polypropylene), and PC (Polycarbonate).
It’s commonly used in industries such as automotive, medical devices, and electronics for fitment testing, functional validation, and market-ready samples, especially when tooling costs are prohibitive.
Can vacuum casting be used for end-use parts?
Yes! Vacuum casting is often used for end-use parts in small quantities, especially when hard tooling isn’t justified yet. Many clients use these parts for trade shows, pilot programs, or even field testing, thanks to their realistic look, feel, and performance.
How do vacuum casting and RIM compare to injection moulding?
Unlike injection moulding, vacuum casting and RIM don’t require expensive steel tools, which makes them ideal for prototyping and low-volume runs. They allow for faster iterations, lower upfront cost, and material flexibility, while still delivering production-like quality and performance.
What is Reaction Injection Moulding (RIM)?
RIM is a low-pressure moulding process where two liquid polymers, polyol and isocyanate, mix and react inside a mould to form rigid or flexible polyurethane parts. It’s ideal for producing large, lightweight components with production-grade performance.
