In pre-series and product testing, silicone rubbers allow for the production of components in small quantities with characteristics very close to the final materials, but with significantly reduced time and costs. Their elasticity, combined with precision in details, makes them particularly suitable for reproducing complex geometries and undercuts that are difficult to achieve with other technologies.
Among the main advantages:
- Excellent fidelity in detail reproduction
- High elasticity and flexibility
- Possibility of mass pigmentation
- Rapid demolding even in complex geometries
- Compatibility with rapid production cycles
Silicone rubbers can be combined with specific polyurethane resins to achieve realistic simulations of rubber components, soft plastics, or technical materials with adjustable hardness.
