Undercuts often cause trouble on the production floor. If a part has an unplanned undercut, it may stick during ejection. Flexible materials like LSR or
In this article, we will explore the differences between STL and STP file types and explain how choosing the right format can impact silicone part
Top coffee machine brands made the switch some years back. They moved away from the usual plastic gaskets and EPDM rubber rings. In their place
When the temperature really drops, silicone seals in all kinds of equipment can start to leak. Automotive systems, HVAC units, medical devices, and outdoor power
Tackiness on silicone parts is a problem that keeps coming back. You mold the parts carefully. They come out smooth and dry. Everything looks good.
Silicone compression molding uses heat and pressure to shape raw silicone into durable parts like seals, gaskets, and medical components. It excels in high-volume production
Flash-free LSR parts are essential for medical, aerospace, and high-reliability sealing applications, yet achieving them consistently remains difficult. This article focuses on the two main
When we design pacifiers, safety comes first. Many teams focus on Shore A hardness. They believe harder silicone means stronger products. In real production, this
This article looks at two main ways to finish silicone surfaces, traditional PU coating and modern plasma treatment. It compares their strengths, weaknesses, and best
In this no-fluff, production-floor guide, we reveal exactly why non-yellowing transparent silicone turns pale lemon in 6–12 months under real California sun and how CMF
This article dives into the often-overlooked role of post-curing in ensuring the long-term durability of silicone gaskets, exploring why parts that pass initial tests can
