Item 1338

OTHER: Mechanical - Bearing - Elastomeric - Elastomer - Dip Molding

Advantages of Dip Molding:

Low cost prototype tooling

Low cost production tooling

Also interesting for small quantities

Short delivery times

Matt and glossy materials

Seamless

Male Mold:

The aluminum tooling can be made by casting, or CNC milling.

Thoughts re Method of Molding Elastomers of Increasing Sizes

  1. Dip the male mold
  2. Cure,
  3. Dip or Coat with an expendable material (a temporary substitute for the shim)
  4. Repeat 1, 2 & 3 until the number of, ever larger elastomers have be made.
  5. Strip all the elastomers from the expendable forms and from the male molds
