Services
Product development
We help you design and develop customised solutions in rubber and other polymeric materials.
We take on complete assignments, but we can also contribute with certain elements of product development - depending on your needs.
- Product review / Development / Prototypes
- Construction / CAD
- Material selection and specifications
We are customer-oriented
Our technical experience allows us to offer flexible solutions with the customer in focus. We quality assure our projects and ensure that you as a customer can always expect high quality and clear documentation.
Product development process for rubber components
1. requirements specification & concept
Collection of claims: Understand and document the specific requirements of the component, including mechanical, chemical and environmental properties.
Concept development: Create initial concepts and design ideas based on the requirements specification.
2. choice of materials
Material analysis: Analyse and select the right type of rubber, silicone or PU based on the specified requirements.
Additives: Decide which additives to use to achieve the desired properties.
3. design & construction
CAD modelling: Create detailed CAD models of the component.
Simulation: Use simulations to predict how the component will behave under different conditions (load, temperature, chemical exposure).
4. prototyping
Prototyping: Produce one or more prototypes of the rubber component to test the design.
Testing & Validation: Carry out on the prototypes to ensure that they fulfil all requirements and specifications.
5. documentation
Ensure the quality of the material: Customer requirements and suggestions for a suitable standard to link the material to.
Quality/production: PPAPs, smear tests, batch tests, etc.
Legal requirements: REACH, RoHS, conflict materials, etc.
6. Tool making
Mould design: Design and manufacture moulding tools to be used for mass production of the rubber component.
Mould making: Create the moulds, usually by CNC machining or other precision machining.
7. quality control
Inspection: Conduct thorough inspections to ensure that each component meets quality standards.
Testing: If necessary, carry out additional tests to verify the functioning of the components.
8. production and distribution
Mass production: Mass production based on validated processes and quality control standards.
Packaging: Package the components in a desirable way.
Distribution: Distribute the finished rubber components to the customer.
