Silicone Compression Molding: Manufacturing Services
Overview of Compression molding silicone
Compression molding silicone rubber is a manufacturing process. Used to produce quality mold parts with excellent dimensional stability, offering ±0.2/0.3 mm tolerance. This method involves placing silicone rubber into a mold cavity and applying heat and pressure to shape the part.
The process ensures quality control by maintaining precise conditions. Making it suitable for both small production runs and large scale manufacturing. It excels in producing complex parts with intricate details and offers faster production times compared to injection molding techniques. This approach is cost-effective and guarantees reliable results for a wide range of applications.
