Silicone parts

If you need a soft, flexible or elastic part, we can produce silicone components and prototypes based on your model or requirements. Silicone is suitable, for example, for seals, protective elements, soft covers, contact parts or prototypes of parts where flexibility is important.

Properties and uses

Do you need a flexible part, seal, soft cover or prototype that should behave like rubber? Silicone parts are suitable wherever flexibility, damping, sealing or a pleasant soft contact with the surroundings matters.

Advantages

  • ICON: High flexibility and elasticity
  • ICON: Good damping properties
  • ICON: Suitable for sealing
  • ICON: Resistant to repeated deformation
  • ICON: Various hardness options
  • ICON: Suitable for more complex shapes too
  • ICON: Pleasant soft surface

Specifics

  • ICON: Accuracy depends on the part geometry
  • ICON: Very thin walls may be problematic
  • ICON: Hardness affects flexibility and part behaviour
  • ICON: Complex cavities require venting
  • ICON: Production may require a mould
  • ICON: The surface reflects the quality of the mould or master model

Applications

  • ICON: Seals
  • ICON: Protective covers
  • ICON: Damping elements
  • ICON: Soft stops
  • ICON: Ergonomic elements
  • ICON: Prototypes of flexible parts
  • ICON: Functional silicone components
