Manufacturing capabilities

Choose the silicone process around the part, not the other way around.

Geometry, material behavior, expected volume, inspection needs, and secondary operations shape a practical manufacturing route for each project.

Process fit

Part requirements shape the manufacturing route.

Geometry, material behavior, expected volume, surface needs, tolerances to be confirmed, inspection scope, and secondary operations should be considered together before a process is selected.

Process directions

Review each process against the part and its intended route.

  1. 01
    Compression molding

    A molding route evaluated against defined silicone geometries.

    Compression molding can support a wide range of elastomer parts when compound choice, cavity design, venting, cure behavior, finishing, and inspection are planned around the component.

  2. 02
    Liquid silicone rubber

    A molding option reviewed for defined silicone components.

    LSR may be considered where liquid material handling, injection setup, cavity filling behavior, and integrated process steps are confirmed during project review.

  3. 03
    Extrusion

    Continuous profiles shaped around section and use.

    Silicone extrusion can support tubing, seals, cords, and custom profiles when section geometry, material response, cut length, joining, and downstream inspection are agreed.

  4. 04
    Tooling

    Tool decisions begin with manufacturability.

    Parting, draft, venting, gating, cavity strategy, finish, and maintenance context are reviewed with the chosen process before tooling scope is confirmed.

  5. 05
    Secondary operations

    Carry the component through finishing, assembly, and packaging.

    Trimming, surface treatment, marking, bonding, overmolding, assembly, inspection, and packaging can be coordinated when each operation is defined in the project route.

Manufacturing handoff

Connect process choices with factory flow and quality planning.

The selected route becomes useful when material preparation, setup, production, secondary work, inspection, documentation, and packaging follow the same confirmed requirements.
