Our production methods with rubber

Mold manufacturing

We support you every step of the way, from drawings and/or 3D files to a fully functional mold tool for compression, transfer, or injection molding, using most common rubber or silicone materials.

Injection

The best way to manufacture a molded rubber or silicone component is through injection molding. The tool remains closed during the process, resulting in less flash.

Transfer molding

In transfer molding, one or more pre-formed blanks are placed in a pot. The press is then closed, and a plunger descends into the pot, forcing the rubber through a series of holes.

Compression molding

This production method is the simplest when using a mold tool. It is suitable for small series production, as well as large products where injection volume in an injection machine is not a concern.
