Prototype Development

Optimize Productivity and Precision with Well-Designed Mold

At Gorw Silicone, we understand the importance of efficient mold design and manufacturing in producing high-quality silicone parts. Our expertise lies in creating molds that optimize productivity and ensure precise outcomes. With our state-of-the-art Stereolithography (3D printing) technology, we can rapidly produce a “Micromold” with a single cavity, typically within one week. This enables us to provide customers with real molded silicone parts for prototyping purposes. Effective mold design is the foundation of manufacturability. By employing innovative design techniques, we enhance part quality, reduce cycle time, and maximize the productivity of the mold. Our experienced team focuses on creating molds that deliver superior performance and meet your specific requirements.

Streamline Product Development with In-House CNC Machining

Grow Silicone takes pride in our in-house CNC machine shop, which plays a crucial role in streamlining the product development process. Unlike other factories that outsource mold tooling, we have the advantage of an in-house tool shop, resulting in more affordable mold adjustments and shorter turnaround times.

Our skilled machinists possess extensive knowledge and provide valuable insights into mold design. With our in-house capabilities, we can quickly make adjustments to molds, saving you time and cost. By eliminating external dependencies, we reduce mistakes and lead times, ensuring efficient and timely production.

Equipped with advanced 3-axis CNC machines and milling machines, our in-house tool shop delivers exceptional precision and meets demanding deadlines through our quick-turn CNC machining process.

Enhance Tool Performance and Aesthetics with Surface Treatments

The surface treatment of molds is vital for achieving high-quality silicone products. At Grow Silicone, we offer a range of surface treatment options during silicone product development to enhance performance, appearance, and durability.

Our widely applied mold surface treatments include:

– Polish: Achieving smooth mold surfaces for optimal product quality.

– Texture: Adding patterns or grain to the mold surface for enhanced aesthetics and tactile experience.

– Plating/Coating: Applying a protective layer to the mold surface for improved corrosion resistance and extended tool life.

– Sand Blasting: Removing imperfections, such as paint, rust, or scratches, and achieving a superior appearance for silicone parts.

Turn Your Design into a Tangible Prototype for Testing

Once the tooling process is complete, we can produce physical prototypes for thorough confirmation. These prototypes allow you to assess functionality, critical dimensions, and overall performance before finalizing production.

Our goal is to provide you with a tangible representation of your design, enabling you to see, touch, and test its function. Any necessary adjustments can be made based on your requirements. We are committed to continuous improvement, and we can conduct a second mold revision if needed, delivering improved parts for inspection and testing.

Please note that while we strive to meet customer requirements, any additional changes requested after the mold and parts meet the initial specifications will be the customer’s responsibility.

Build Your Brand Identity with Customized Silicone Products

A logo is a powerful tool for brand recognition and visibility. At Gorw Silicone, we offer branding services for corporate silicone products, allowing you to build a strong brand identity.

For silicone parts, we provide multiple options to incorporate your logo:

– Debossed or embossed logo directly on the mold.

– Printed logo.

– Etched or laser-engraved logo.

– Epoxy logo.

These customization options ensure that your brand stands out and creates a lasting impression. Let Gorw Silicone help you elevate your brand with our customized silicone products.
