Co-Development & Design Support

The design phase is the first stage in product development and an important step in ensuring quality parts production and product performance.

An important consideration in part design optimization is DFM (Design for Manufacturing). Such a method takes into account the properties of liquid silicone rubber and the liquid injection molding process. Understanding these aspects of production ensures a design that will adapt well to the process, and enable a high-yield, stable manufacturing process.

SIMTEC combines the use of advanced mold simulation technology combined with a level of  expertise that comes from decades of LSR injection molding experience, resulting in an enhanced part design, optimized molding process, and superior quality parts.

Prototyping

For complex and critical part designs, prototyping can be an essential step in product development and manufacturability, and SIMTEC offers its customers a variety of prototype options. Prototyping offers our customers the ability to evaluate, test and refine their part design before we start full-scale, mass production.

Performance and functionality testing or clinical testing are critical requirements for a variety of industries.

LSR cast prototypes, rapid tooling, LSR prototype partsThe type of prototype depends on the specific technology used for its production. In choosing the prototype method best suited for a specific project, the following factors  should be considered:

  • What type of aesthetic and dimensional quality do you need?
  • How many and how quickly do you need the prototype parts?
  • How will you use the prototypes?

Options for prototype production include 3D printing and other additive manufacturing methods, CNC machining, and fused deposition molding (FDM) parts, casting, or pilot pre-production. Each method has advantages and limitations. Contact SIMTEC for more information and help in choosing the right process for your new product.
