04 -- Material Science

Material & Process Evaluation.

100% food-grade silicone is only the starting point. We evaluate the ideal grade, hardness, and molding process to ensure your product performs, lasts, and complies with the strictest global standards.

Solid Silicone

Compression Molding

Ideal for larger parts, textured surfaces, and cost-efficient production runs. Backed by 32 solid silicone machines.

  • Shore A 30 - 80 hardness range
  • Excellent for bibs, mats, teethers
  • Wide color & texture flexibility
Liquid Silicone

LSR Injection Molding

Precision-grade LSR for high-volume, complex geometries with automated production on 32 dedicated machines.

  • Medical & food-grade purity
  • Ideal for nipples, pacifiers, valves
  • High repeatability, low flash
Post-Processing

Finishing & Treatment

Elevate performance and appearance with in-house secondary processes engineered for silicone.

Die-Cutting Adhesive Backing Spray Coating Silk Screen Pad Printing UV Modification

Certified Materials

All silicone raw material tested to RoHS & REACH standards.

FDA LFGB CE RoHS REACH EN71

05 -- DFM

Design for Manufacturability Analysis.

A brilliant design is only valuable if it can be produced at scale, at cost, and at quality. Our DFM engineers review every part before tooling begins -- preventing costly rework and delays.

Free DFM Report Included
01

Mold-Ability Review

Parting lines, gate locations, ejection strategy -- validated against silicone flow behavior.

02

Cycle Time & Cost Optimization

Cavity layout, part consolidation, and process tuning for competitive unit economics.

03

Defect Risk Assessment

Identify potential flash, shrinkage, warping, and short-shot risks before tooling.

04

Tooling Strategy

Single-cavity vs. multi-cavity, hardened steel vs. aluminum -- matched to your volume goals.

05

Assembly & Packaging DFM

Downstream considerations -- from over-mold sequence to retail-ready packaging.

06 -- Validation

Prototyping & Sample Validation.

Touch it, test it, love it -- before tooling commits. We produce functional prototypes and pre-production samples that mirror final quality.
