The Application Characteristics of Silicone Rapid Prototyping

Compression molding silicone is the most economical and fastest way to make silicone prototype parts that are suitable for end use functional testing. If you require hundreds to thousands of silicone prototype parts using LSR for actual end use testing or initial sales campaigns it is best to build a single cavity aluminum injection mold.
Silicone prototypes is one of the methods in rapid prototyping. silicone prototype can be divided into two types, one is direct silicone mold and second-time silicone mold. The direct mold making method is to complete the cavity structure through one-time curing and molding of silicone.
Silicone parts wall thicknesses begin from 0.015" and go up to inches. It is advised to avoid sharp corners and edges, as this could propagate a tear during the silicone prototype or silicone part demolding process.
