Liquid Silicone Rubber Molding

Silicone rubber molding at APM uses liquid silicone material injected into precision-machined tooling under controlled conditions. The process is suitable for parts that must perform under heat, chemical exposure, and repeated mechanical loading.

Key capability highlights include:

• Support for both prototype and production volumes
• In-house tooling for faster program development
• Engineering input during early design review

This setup allows adjustment of designs before full production begins. It also supports custom rubber parts ranging from simple seals to detailed functional components with tighter geometry requirements.

APM produces custom rubber parts for applications requiring flexibility, sealing performance, or vibration control. Each project is developed based on customer specifications, including geometry, material behavior, and end-use conditions.

Silicone molded parts produced through this process are commonly used in assemblies where durability and flexibility must work together under continuous use. The material supports complex shapes, thin walls, and detailed features without losing performance stability.

Production can range from single prototype components to multi-cavity tooling for higher output requirements.

Silicone rubber molding is used across industries where reliability under stress matters. Common applications include medical device components, electronic insulation parts, automotive seals, and industrial gaskets.

Custom rubber parts are also used in consumer products where material consistency and long service life are required. Each project is reviewed based on function, fit, and production volume before manufacturing begins.

Tooling is developed for consistent cycle performance and repeatability. CNC-machined molds support tight tolerances and stable production output. Engineering support is available during early design stages to refine part geometry for manufacturability.

APM supports both prototype tooling and production tooling, allowing programs to move from validation to manufacturing without changing suppliers or processes.

Each batch of silicone molded parts is inspected for dimensional accuracy and material consistency before release. This supports repeatable production output across runs of varying volume. Programs can scale from early prototypes to production supply while maintaining the same process control and manufacturing approach.
