How to Design and Build a silicone mold

The design and manufacture of a silicone mold is different from thermoplastic tooling as well: e.g., tolerances, venting, part ejection and the installation of a vacuum system. Although the tooling design is different, optimizing processing variables such as temperature, pressure and time are essential in both thermoplastic molding and silicone molding. […]

How to understand integration of CAD/CAM

The closer integration of the two technologies offers obvious advantages to smaller manufacturers of simpler parts, where the product designer will often also be the machine tool programmer. Having a common interface for the CAD and CAM software makes learning the two programs easier, while automatic updating of the toolpaths if the design changes will [...]
