What they actually want to know is whether the part can be made, at what tolerance, and how fast. Those three answers do not live in geometry. They live in the notes that are usually missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We quote <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/industrial-silicone-parts-manufacturer\/\">custom silicone parts<\/a> every week, and the pattern is consistent: incomplete design files for custom silicone parts do not fail at quoting. They fail at first article, after the steel is already cut. By then the decision is no longer yours. It is a tool modification, a re-quote, or a new insert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the file package we ask for, and the decisions each file is expected to close. It is the same package whether the part is a baby feeding spoon, a kitchen mat, an industrial seal or a molded insert. What changes is which file carries the most risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where this article gives numbers \u2014 shrinkage bands, starting tolerances, post-cure schedules, insert shift limits \u2014 they come from our own tooling and first-article records across the custom silicone tooling programs we have run in-house since 2012, not from a published table. The standards and regulations we cite are listed under Sources at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Executive Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Geometry is the cheapest part of the package.<\/strong> A STEP file answers whether the shape exists. Hardness, cure system, color reference and compliance are what decide the price, the cycle time and the paperwork.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shrinkage compensation belongs to whoever cuts the steel.<\/strong> Applied in CAD, that 1%\u20134% removes the only lever left after the first shots, and the part comes out undersized twice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A blanket tight tolerance is the most expensive line on a drawing.<\/strong> The cost sits in inspection and scrap, not in the cavity. One general class plus a short critical list beats M2 everywhere, almost every time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The risk moves with the product family; the file list does not.<\/strong> Baby and kitchen programs fail on compliance and color approval. Industrial programs fail on tolerance class and insert data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nothing above is unusual to ask for.<\/strong> It is one drawing revision of work, and it is cheaper than one tool modification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An incomplete file package does not stop a project. It lets the project continue on assumptions. The tool gets designed around whichever value looked most probable to us, the first article gets measured against whatever each side remembers agreeing to, and the correction lands after the steel is cut. That is the entire argument for spending an afternoon on the files before you send them. A drawing revision costs you an afternoon. A cavity re-cut, a new insert or a repeated compliance test costs money that was never in the project budget, and it usually costs weeks as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Do Design Files for Custom Silicone Parts Have to Contain?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Six items. Anything less leaves someone guessing on your behalf, and that guess ends up in the steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>File<\/th><th>Preferred format<\/th><th>Decision it closes<\/th><th>Needed for a firm quote?<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>3D model<\/td><td>STEP (AP242 preferred, AP214 accepted), or native SolidWorks \/ Fusion<\/td><td>Cavity geometry, cavity count, DFM feasibility<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2D drawing<\/td><td>PDF plus DWG or DXF<\/td><td>What will be accepted at inspection<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Material and process note<\/td><td>Drawing title block or RFQ form<\/td><td>Compound, hardness, cure system, post-cure<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Color reference<\/td><td>Pantone or RAL code, plus physical chip<\/td><td>Masterbatch and color approval basis<\/td><td>Yes for colored parts<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Marking artwork<\/td><td>AI, EPS, or vector PDF, fonts outlined<\/td><td>Print method, ink system, screen or pad size<\/td><td>Yes if printed or engraved<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Insert or mating part data<\/td><td>STEP plus drawing, material stated<\/td><td>Overmolding fit, adhesion route, witness marks<\/td><td>Yes for overmolded parts<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An STL on its own gets you a feasibility opinion and a rough tooling range. Nothing more. A mesh has no exact radii and no clean thin-wall definition, and both are the features that decide whether a lip tears at demolding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which File Usually Fails, by Product Family?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The six items above are constant. The one that gets left out is predictable, and it depends on what you are making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Product family<\/th><th>File most often missing or weak<\/th><th>What it costs when it is missing<\/th><th>Typical tolerance class<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Baby and feeding products (bibs, spoons, plates, teethers)<\/td><td>Compliance statement and physical color chip<\/td><td>Wrong compound family, retesting, color re-approval after tooling<\/td><td>M3, with M2 on suction lips and sealing features<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Kitchen and bakeware (mats, spatulas, containers, lids)<\/td><td>Service conditions and hardness with tolerance<\/td><td>Compound that fails at oven temperature or feels wrong in hand<\/td><td>M3 to M4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Industrial parts (seals, gaskets, keypads, tubing, grommets)<\/td><td>2D drawing with a stated tolerance class and insert data<\/td><td>Tool modification after first article; leakage or fit failure in service<\/td><td>M2, M1 on sealing diameters only<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Promotional and branded items (wristbands, labels, cases)<\/td><td>Vector artwork with outlined fonts and Pantone per element<\/td><td>Reprint, ink peeling, visible color drift between batches<\/td><td>M3 to M4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Molds and demanding demolding geometry<\/td><td>3D model at final dimensions plus a demolding note<\/td><td>Torn lips, trapped cavities, cavity split redesign<\/td><td>M3, tight only on functional cavity dimensions<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The practical consequence is that the same missing line has a different price depending on the family. For <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/silicone-baby-products-manufacturer\/\">silicone baby products<\/a>, a loose general tolerance is usually fine while the compliance line is non-negotiable. For <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/silicone-kitchen-products-manufacturer\/\">silicone kitchen products<\/a>, the service temperature note selects the compound before geometry matters at all. On an industrial seal, the order is reversed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should You Send STEP, STL, or Native CAD?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Send STEP as the working file, native CAD as backup, STL only as a visual reference. Export AP242 where your CAD offers it \u2014 it is the current protocol and can carry tolerance and annotation data, not just shape. AP214 remains perfectly workable; AP203 loses color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Format<\/th><th>What survives the export<\/th><th>Use it for<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>STEP AP242 (or AP214)<\/td><td>Solid bodies, exact radii, assembly structure, color; AP242 also carries semantic PMI and tolerances<\/td><td>Tool design, cavity machining, DFM review<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Native CAD (SLDPRT, F3D)<\/td><td>Feature history, editable parameters<\/td><td>Joint design changes during DFM<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>IGES<\/td><td>Surfaces, sometimes with gaps<\/td><td>Legacy files only; expect repair time<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>DWG \/ DXF<\/td><td>2D profiles and dimensions<\/td><td>Die cutting, extrusion profiles, gasket outlines<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>STL \/ 3MF<\/td><td>Triangulated shell only<\/td><td>Visual confirmation, printed prototypes<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One detail engineers forget: export in millimeters, one watertight solid body per part, origin on a datum face or symmetry axis. Suppressed features and leftover construction bodies come through the export and cost us a day of cleanup before DFM even starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your route is still undecided between molded and printed silicone, the geometry limits differ, so prepare the file for the route you intend to use, not for both. <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/silicone-3d-printing\/\">Silicone 3D printing<\/a> tolerates geometry that molding does not, and the reverse is also true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does the 2D Drawing Have to Show?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The model says what the part is. The drawing says what will be accepted. Those are different documents, and only one of them is used by quality control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A silicone drawing is not a plastic drawing with the material line changed. The part deforms under measurement, some of its dimensions move with clamping pressure, and its most important features are usually the softest ones. That changes what belongs on the sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sections through every functional feature.<\/strong> One section view through each sealing lip, wall transition, undercut and insert pocket. Wall thickness that only exists in the model is the most common cause of a DFM question.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Datums that a soft part can actually be located on.<\/strong> Pick a stiff face or a moulded-in boss. A thin flange as datum A will move in the fixture, and every dimension referenced to it inherits that movement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dimensions on what is functional, not on everything.<\/strong> Every dimension you place is a dimension someone will measure and can reject. Fit surfaces, sealing geometry, hole positions and overall envelope: those need numbers. Cosmetic radii do not.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Free state or fixtured, stated explicitly.<\/strong> For tubing, gaskets, membranes and lids, write whether the dimension applies unrestrained or in a stated fixture. Without it, an inner diameter is not a specification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A tolerance block, not scattered tolerances.<\/strong> General class in the block, a short list of critical dimensions on the views, and closure dimensions marked so they are read against the closure band.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A title block that carries the process.<\/strong> Compound and process, hardness with tolerance, cure system, post-cure, color reference and compliance. The drawing travels between departments; the RFQ email does not.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Marking artwork positioned from a datum.<\/strong> Logo location, size and orientation belong on the drawing even when the artwork ships as a separate vector file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Units, scale, revision letter and date.<\/strong> Millimeters unless stated otherwise, and one revision letter shared with the model and the artwork.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Simplified-2D-drawing-showing-section-views-datum-reference-free-state-note-and-tolerance-block-1024x572.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Simplified-2D-drawing-showing-section-views-datum-reference-free-state-note-and-tolerance-block-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Simplified-2D-drawing-showing-section-views-datum-reference-free-state-note-and-tolerance-block-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Simplified-2D-drawing-showing-section-views-datum-reference-free-state-note-and-tolerance-block-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Simplified-2D-drawing-showing-section-views-datum-reference-free-state-note-and-tolerance-block-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Simplified-2D-drawing-showing-section-views-datum-reference-free-state-note-and-tolerance-block-600x335.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Simplified-2D-drawing-showing-section-views-datum-reference-free-state-note-and-tolerance-block.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What to leave off matters almost as much. Full geometric tolerancing on an elastomer part reads as rigor and behaves as cost, because flatness and parallelism callouts written for machined metal cannot be held on a material that relaxes for hours after demolding. Tight profile tolerances on cosmetic surfaces have the same effect. If a feature does not seal, locate, or mate with something, it does not need a tolerance tighter than the general class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a model but no drawing, send the model and say so. We will produce a drawing from it, and once you approve that drawing it becomes the inspection baseline for the whole project. What does not work is proceeding with no drawing at all, because then first article gets judged against whatever each side remembers agreeing to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Should the Model Stay at Final Part Dimensions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because we apply shrinkage compensation to the steel, and if you have already applied it, the part comes out undersized twice over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silicone shrinks as it cures and again during post-cure. The realistic band is roughly 1%\u20134%, with most general LSR grades landing near 2.0%\u20133.5%; the actual figure comes from the compound datasheet and trial shots, not from a rule of thumb. It is also not uniform. Flow direction, local wall thickness, gate position, mold temperature and a restraining insert all pull it in different directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the item teams underestimate most often. A designer who has worked mainly in thermoplastics assumes shrinkage is a single scalar applied at the CAD stage, because in many plastic workflows it effectively is. In silicone, applying it upstream removes our ability to tune it later. A 0.4 mm sealing lip on a 40 Shore A part behaves very differently than the same lip at 60 Shore A, and the compensation follows the compound, not the drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What the drawing has to state is the dimension you want to measure on the finished part after post-curing, for example after 200\u00b0C for 4 hours where volatiles matter. We handle the rest in <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/key-considerations-for-silicone-mold-design\/\">mold design<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Correct-shrinkage-compensation-vs-shrinkage-applied-twice-in-CAD-1024x572.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Correct-shrinkage-compensation-vs-shrinkage-applied-twice-in-CAD-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Correct-shrinkage-compensation-vs-shrinkage-applied-twice-in-CAD-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Correct-shrinkage-compensation-vs-shrinkage-applied-twice-in-CAD-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Correct-shrinkage-compensation-vs-shrinkage-applied-twice-in-CAD-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Correct-shrinkage-compensation-vs-shrinkage-applied-twice-in-CAD-600x335.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Correct-shrinkage-compensation-vs-shrinkage-applied-twice-in-CAD.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Tolerance Class Should You Specify: M1, M2, or M3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/standard\/62492.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ISO 3302-1<\/a> as the general class and reserve tight tolerances for a short list of functional features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Class<\/th><th>Where it earns its cost<\/th><th>What it demands from us<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>M1<\/td><td>Precision sealing diameters, close-fitting interfaces<\/td><td>Precision tooling, narrow process window, higher scrap and inspection load<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>M2<\/td><td>Technical seals, keypads, insert fits<\/td><td>Practical target for functional custom parts<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>M3<\/td><td>Kitchen, baby and consumer geometry<\/td><td>Efficient default for non-critical dimensions<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>M4<\/td><td>Large moulded parts where fit is not dimension-driven<\/td><td>Loosest moulded class; still better stated than left blank<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two limits on the table above, both of which get misquoted on drawings we receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, the M classes apply to moulded products only. Extruded profiles and cut lengths are classified separately in ISO 3302-1 as <strong>E classes (E1\u2013E3)<\/strong>, so an extrusion drawing should quote an E class, and a cut-length tolerance should be stated against the cut length itself. <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/custom-silicone-extrusion-design\/\">Custom extrusion design<\/a> carries its own dimensional logic and does not read across from moulding. Writing &#8220;M3&#8221; on an extrusion drawing tells us you have not read the standard you are citing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, the standard splits every class into <strong>fixed<\/strong> and <strong>closure<\/strong> dimensions. Fixed dimensions are controlled only by the machined cavity. Closure dimensions cross the parting plane and are additionally affected by clamping pressure, compound volume and flash, so their tolerance band in the same class is wider. If one of your critical dimensions crosses the parting line, either accept the closure band or ask us to move the split before the tool is designed. This is the single most common reason a part measures &#8220;out of tolerance&#8221; against a class it actually conforms to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Fixed-versus-closure-dimensions-across-the-mould-parting-plane-1024x572.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Fixed-versus-closure-dimensions-across-the-mould-parting-plane-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Fixed-versus-closure-dimensions-across-the-mould-parting-plane-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Fixed-versus-closure-dimensions-across-the-mould-parting-plane-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Fixed-versus-closure-dimensions-across-the-mould-parting-plane-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Fixed-versus-closure-dimensions-across-the-mould-parting-plane-600x335.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Fixed-versus-closure-dimensions-across-the-mould-parting-plane.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where no class is stated, we start the conversation from \u00b10.3 mm on general dimensions, \u00b10.2 mm on wall thickness and inner diameters, and \u00b10.1 mm on sealing surfaces, then confirm against part size, hardness and geometry before quoting. Treat those numbers as a negotiation opening, not a specification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most baby, kitchen and promotional geometry, M3 is the correct default, not a compromise, and M4 is the right call on large parts and extruded profiles. Specifying M2 across those drawings buys inspection cost and nothing the end user can feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The misjudgment here is mirror-image of the shrinkage one. Buyers coming from CNC habits apply a tight blanket tolerance to every dimension because it feels safe. It is not safe; it is expensive, and where that expense lands is visible in <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/silicone-mold-costs\/\">silicone mold costs<\/a>. Every extra tight dimension adds an inspection step and a rejection reason that has nothing to do with function. On a suction base or a bib pocket, \u00b10.5 mm changes nothing the user can feel. On the sealing lip of a <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/high-precision-silicone-molding\/\">high-precision molded part<\/a>, 0.05 mm decides whether it leaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Define a Dimension on a Part That Deforms Under the Caliper?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By naming the measurement method on the drawing, not just the number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 40 Shore A lip measured with a hand caliper reads smaller than the same lip measured optically, because the operator compresses it. Two labs then produce two reports for one good part, and the argument stops being about quality and turns into an argument about metrology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Put these four items in the inspection note:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Measurement method for soft or thin features: non-contact, optical or vision system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixture or free-state condition, especially for tubing, gaskets and thin membranes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conditioning: measure after post-cure and a stated rest period, not straight off the press.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sample size and AQL for first article and for production lots, matched to how the parts will actually be <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/inspecting-silicone-product\/\">inspected<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That single note settles most first-article disputes before they start, and it costs one line of text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Soft-silicone-part-measured-with-a-non-contact-vision-system-1024x572.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Soft-silicone-part-measured-with-a-non-contact-vision-system-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Soft-silicone-part-measured-with-a-non-contact-vision-system-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Soft-silicone-part-measured-with-a-non-contact-vision-system-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Soft-silicone-part-measured-with-a-non-contact-vision-system-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Soft-silicone-part-measured-with-a-non-contact-vision-system-600x335.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Soft-silicone-part-measured-with-a-non-contact-vision-system.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Notes Change the Quote More Than the Geometry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Material, hardness, cure system, color and compliance.

If you need the wider distinction spelled out, <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/food-grade-vs-medical-grade-silicone\/\">food-grade versus medical-grade<\/a> is the split that matters on the drawing. For the EU, the food-contact instrument is <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/reg\/2011\/10\/oj\/eng\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Regulation (EU) No 10\/2011<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/regulatory-information\/search-fda-guidance-documents\/use-international-standard-iso-10993-1-biological-evaluation-medical-devices-part-1-evaluation-and\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ISO 10993-1<\/a> is a separate track for medical devices. A catheter component is evaluated under it. A wristband, a pacifier or a kitchen tool is not, and stays under food-contact or toy-safety rules. Asking for 10993 testing on a consumer part buys cost and no additional claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Color deserves its own line. A screenshot is not a color specification. We match against a physical chip under a defined light source, and translucent or filled compounds shift the match; how that is <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/how-is-color-matching-achieved-in-food-grade-silicone-products\/\">controlled in production<\/a> depends on the compound you have chosen, which is another reason material and color travel together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where Are You Willing to Accept the Parting Line, Gate and Vent Marks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Somewhere on the part, there will be a parting line, a gate witness and a vent trace. The drawing should say where they are not acceptable, and stop there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The failures arrive from opposite directions. Buyers who say nothing get marks wherever the tool is easiest to build, then reject them at first article. Buyers who dictate the full parting line and gate layout constrain filling and venting, and the result is flash or trapped air on a face they cared about more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The useful instruction is a restriction, not a design:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mark cosmetic and sealing zones as no-mark areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>State the acceptable flash limit \u2014 trimmed flush, or a stated maximum in millimeters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>State which surface faces the user or carries the logo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flag undercuts, snap features and closed cavities; <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/designing-undercuts-in-silicone-injection-molding\/\">undercut geometry<\/a> changes the demolding method and sometimes the cavity split.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Note the surface finish or texture you expect, with a reference sample where possible; the options are covered in <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/silicone-product-surface-pattern\/\">surface patterns<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flash tolerance is where cost quietly concentrates. Pushing toward a zero-flash requirement moves the job into tighter mold tolerance plus vacuum assistance, which is a real capability at a different price point. Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/achieving-zero-flash-in-lsr-molding-mold-tolerance-vs-vacuum-logic\/\">trade-off between tolerance and vacuum logic<\/a> before you write &#8220;no flash&#8221; on a drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does the Insert File Have to Tell Us in an Overmolded Part?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than its shape. An insert that shifts 0.2 mm produces uneven silicone thickness, exposed substrate, or a bond that peels in service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Insert information<\/th><th>Why the tool cannot be designed without it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>3D model and drawing with tolerances<\/td><td>Locating features and clearance in the cavity<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Substrate material and surface treatment<\/td><td>Adhesion route: primer, mechanical lock, or self-bonding compound<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Minimum silicone thickness over the insert<\/td><td>Flow, coverage, and avoiding read-through<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Required bond or peel strength<\/td><td>Whether adhesion is a spec or an assumption<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Acceptable location of locating-pin witness marks<\/td><td>Pins must land somewhere; you choose where<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Insert temperature limit<\/td><td>Cure temperature and cycle time<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overmolding is also where &#8220;we will decide later&#8221; costs the most. Adhesion strategy is designed into the tool, not added afterwards. Primer, mechanical lock or self-bonding compound: the <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/silicone-overmolding-adhesion\/\">overmolding adhesion route<\/a> follows from the substrate and its coating, which is why the insert file has to name both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Artwork Files Survive from Proof to Production?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vector files with outlined fonts, Pantone-referenced colors, and a marking method chosen before the tool is cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raster logos do not survive. Neither do hairlines and small reverse text on a soft, curved surface: the ink bridges, or the pad slides. What holds depends on the method, and the method depends on the geometry itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Marking method<\/th><th>Fits<\/th><th>Artwork constraint<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Pad printing<\/td><td>Small curved or recessed areas<\/td><td>Limited colors per pass; avoid fine negative text<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Screen printing<\/td><td>Flat or gently curved panels<\/td><td>Spot colors, solid shapes, no photographic gradients<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Transfer printing<\/td><td>Multi-color detail on textured or curved parts<\/td><td>Full artwork, but registration and film build must be specified<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Laser engraving<\/td><td>Ink-free permanence, tone-on-tone marks<\/td><td>No color choice; contrast depends on pigment and depth<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Molded-in text<\/td><td>Marks that must outlive the product<\/td><td>Needs draft, radii and minimum stroke width in the 3D model<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Process detail sits in the method pages: <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/pad-printing-on-silicone\/\">pad printing on silicone<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/silicone-screen-printing\/\">screen printing<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/silicone-transfer-printing\/\">transfer printing<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/laser-engraving-silicone\/\">laser engraving<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Give the artwork a position dimensioned from a datum, a color per element, whether a white underbase is needed on a dark part, and the durability you expect in numbers: dishwasher cycles, alcohol wipes, or abrasion. Ink systems are selected against that number, and &#8220;it should not peel&#8221; is not a number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do Revision Mismatches Cause So Many First-Article Rejections?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the tool, the inspection report and the quote can each reference a different revision, and all three parties believe they are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have cut steel to Rev B while the customer&#8217;s incoming inspection ran against Rev C. Nothing was defective. The paperwork was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Name files as <code>PartNumber_Description_RevB_YYYYMMDD.step<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep one revision letter across model, drawing and artwork.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Send a one-line change log: &#8220;Rev C: lip 1.2 \u2192 1.5 mm, logo moved 3 mm toward base.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freeze the design before tooling; after that, treat changes as formal ECRs with a cost and lead-time impact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm in writing which revision the quotation, the tool and the first article all refer to.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Revision discipline looks like administration until the first tool modification. Then it is the cheapest control in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three Notes You Can Copy Onto Your Drawing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of what is missing from the files we receive is not geometry. It is three short blocks of text. Copy these, change the values, and the drawing closes the decisions this article has been describing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Material and process note, for the title block:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>MATERIAL: Liquid silicone rubber (LSR), platinum (addition) cure\nHARDNESS: Shore A 50 +\/-5 per ASTM D2240\nCOLOR: Pantone 7686 C, matte; physical chip to be approved before tooling\nPOST-CURE: 200 C \/ 4 h (required)\nCOMPLIANCE: FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 (repeated use) + LFGB\nGENERAL TOLERANCE: ISO 3302-1 class M3 (moulded); critical dims per drawing\nMODEL STATE: Dimensions are FINAL PART dimensions. No shrinkage applied.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Inspection note, next to the dimension table:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Dimensions measured after post-cure and min. 24 h rest at 23 C \/ 50% RH.\nSoft and thin features measured non-contact (optical \/ vision), free state,\nno fixture, no operator compression.\nDimensions marked (C) cross the parting plane and are closure dimensions;\nISO 3302-1 closure tolerance applies.\nFirst article: 5 pcs, all dimensions.

They close most of the questions that would otherwise come back to you a week later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pre-RFQ File Checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eight items cover almost every incomplete RFQ we receive. Everything else in this article is detail on these eight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This package is not only an RFQ formality. The same files get opened again at prototype review, at tool sign-off, at first article, and at every repeat order months later. Assembling them once, under one revision letter, is cheaper than filling the gaps separately at each of those stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>[ ] STEP file (AP242 preferred), millimeters, one watertight solid per part, <strong>at final dimensions<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[ ] 2D drawing with cross-sections through every functional area, critical dimensions flagged<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[ ] Tolerance class stated: M class for moulded, E class for extruded; closure dimensions identified<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[ ] Measurement method, fixture condition and conditioning time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[ ] Compound and process, hardness with tolerance, cure system, post-cure requirement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[ ] Pantone or RAL color plus a physical chip; compliance listed by standard, not by adjective<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[ ] No-mark zones, flash limit, and vector artwork with outlined fonts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[ ] Insert model with substrate material and surface treatment; annual volume and single revision letter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pre-RFQ-file-checklist-card-for-custom-silicone-parts-1024x572.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pre-RFQ-file-checklist-card-for-custom-silicone-parts-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pre-RFQ-file-checklist-card-for-custom-silicone-parts-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pre-RFQ-file-checklist-card-for-custom-silicone-parts-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pre-RFQ-file-checklist-card-for-custom-silicone-parts-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pre-RFQ-file-checklist-card-for-custom-silicone-parts-600x335.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Pre-RFQ-file-checklist-card-for-custom-silicone-parts.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens to Your Files After You Send Them?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the question buyers ask last and worry about first, so here it is before the request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We will sign your NDA before you send anything. If you do not have one, ask for ours and it comes back the same working day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your CAD, drawings and artwork are used to quote, design the tool and produce your part. They are not shown to other customers, not used in our own product range, and not published as case material without your written approval.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access inside the factory is limited to the engineering, tooling and quality staff on your project.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tooling built to your files and paid for by you is yours; we can state that in the quotation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you decide not to proceed, ask us and we will delete the files and confirm it in writing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your legal team needs specific wording on retention periods, sub-supplier disclosure or export control, send us the clause and we will answer it instead of talking around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What We Need From You Next<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Geometry alone gets you an opinion. A tolerance class, a hardness, a cure system, a color chip and a volume get you a firm quote and a tool that does not need modification after the first shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two things are worth saying plainly before you send anything. Any tolerance tighter than ISO 3302-1 M2 across a whole part should be discussed before we quote, because the cost sits in inspection and scrap rather than in <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/silicone-mold-manufacturer\/\">tooling<\/a>. And any design still likely to change should go through <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/silicone-products-from-prototyping-to-mass-production\/\">prototype validation<\/a> before production steel, since a late revision usually costs more than the prototype tool would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Send the STEP file, the drawing, hardness, color reference, compliance requirements and expected annual volume, and we will come back within 2\u20133 working days with a DFM review that names the risks we see in your geometry, plus a tooling and unit price against your tolerance class. The DFM review costs you nothing and does not commit you to the tool. Most of the files we review this way become <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/silicone-seal-manufacturer\/\">molded seals<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/rysilicone.com\/silicone-keypad-manufacturer\/\">silicone keypads<\/a>, or industrial components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/standard\/62492.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ISO 3302-1:2014, Rubber \u2014 Tolerances for products, Part 1: Dimensional tolerances<\/a> \u2014 ISO, Edition 2 (2014), confirmed 2024<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.astm.org\/d2240-15r21.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ASTM D2240-15(2021), Standard Test Method for Rubber Property \u2014 Durometer Hardness<\/a> \u2014 ASTM International, updated July 2021<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-21\/chapter-I\/subchapter-B\/part-177\/subpart-C\/section-177.2600\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">21 CFR 177.2600, Rubber articles intended for repeated use<\/a> \u2014 U.S. eCFR, current version<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/reg\/2011\/10\/oj\/eng\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Commission Regulation (EU) No 10\/2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food<\/a> \u2014 EUR-Lex, OJ L 12, 15.1.2011, consolidated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/regulatory-information\/search-fda-guidance-documents\/use-international-standard-iso-10993-1-biological-evaluation-medical-devices-part-1-evaluation-and\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, Biological evaluation of medical devices<\/a> \u2014 U.S. FDA guidance, September 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/standard\/84300.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ISO 10303-242:2025, Application protocol: Managed model-based 3D engineering (STEP AP242)<\/a> \u2014 ISO, Edition 4 (August 2025), current protocol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/standard\/43669.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ISO 10303-214:2010, Application protocol: Core data for automotive mechanical design processes (STEP AP214)<\/a> \u2014 ISO, Edition 3 (2010), still widely exported<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dow.com\/en-us\/faq\/platinum-catalyzed-silicone-inhibitors.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Platinum-catalyzed silicone inhibitors, by element class<\/a> \u2014 Dow technical FAQ<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gesetze-im-internet.de\/lfgb\/BJNR261810005.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lebensmittel- und Futtermittelgesetzbuch (LFGB)<\/a> \u2014 German Federal Ministry of Justice, official consolidated text<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most buyers send us a STEP file and expect a price.
