Rapid Prototyping & Detail

Silicone Molding

The ultimate solution for rapid, high-fidelity prototypes and small-batch custom parts. Go from 3D model to functional sample, often within 24 hours.

Key Advantages

  • Extreme Speed: Molds ready in 24-48 hours. "Design today, test tomorrow" is a reality.
  • Cost-Effective: Mold costs are just hundreds to thousands of yuan, with no MOQ.
  • Quality Assurance: Accuracy up to ±0.1mm, properties comparable to injection molded parts.

Applications

  • New product functional prototyping.
  • Small-batch production (crowdfunding, trial sales).
  • Exhibition samples, teaching models.
  • Product iteration validation.

Key Parameters

  • Size Range: Up to 3-5 kg for medium parts.
  • Accuracy: Dimensional accuracy up to ±0.15 mm.
  • Materials: PA, ABS, PC, PP, and various elastomers.
Large-Scale & Cost-Effective

Thermoforming

Ideal for producing large, durable, yet lightweight parts like equipment enclosures and automotive panels. A cost-effective solution for mass production.

Key Advantages

  • Economical & Efficient: Mold costs for a 1-meter shell start at ¥10,000, far below large-scale injection molding.
  • Lightweight & Strong: Uniform thin walls provide lightness, while rib design and 5-axis CNC machining ensure precision.
  • Superior Finish: Surfaces can be textured (leather, matte) and support spray-free carbon fiber effects.

Applications

  • Equipment Shells: Instrument enclosures, robot covers, machine tool guards.
  • Automotive Parts: Body panels, interior headliners, bumpers.
  • Other Large Components: Sports equipment housings, large advertising displays.

  • From Drawing: 3D model (STEP/IGES/STL) + material specs + quantity.
  • From Sample: Provide a physical sample for dimensional replication.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We've got answers. Find what you're looking for below.

What if I only have an idea, but no technical drawings?

No problem at all! Our expert engineering team can work with you from a sketch, a concept, or even just an idea. We can help you create professional 2D/3D models ready for production. Contact us to start the design process.

What is the precision difference between your main processes?

Vacuum forming is excellent for larger parts with less stringent tolerances, while silicone injection molding offers very high precision, suitable for intricate details and complex geometries. We will always recommend the best and most cost-effective option based on your specific project needs.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

It depends on the process. For rapid prototyping services like urethane casting or 3D printing, we can start from a single piece (MOQ=1). For larger production runs, we will provide a detailed and competitive quote based on your quantity requirements.

What materials do you support?

We offer a wide range of materials. For vacuum forming, we use plastics like ABS, PC, PETG, and HIPS. For silicone molding, we have various grades of silicone rubber with different hardness levels (Shore A), colors, and properties (e.g., food-grade, high-temperature resistant).

How long does it take to receive a sample after placing an order?

Typically, a prototype sample can be produced and ready for shipment within 7-14 business days. The exact lead time depends on the complexity of your design, the chosen manufacturing process, and our current production schedule. We will provide a precise timeline with your quote.
