If you need aluminum parts machined we are one of the most capable and affordable sources, and we can get the job done right. 

Rubber parts can be molded in a similar way to plastic parts. However, the process is quite different. Normally rubber parts are compression molded whereby a chunk of rubber is heated and pressed between two halves of a mold.

Design tips

Designing rubber parts is as easy as designing parts made of other materials. Keep the shape simple; avoid thick regions that may not cool readily and avoid tight tolerances.

Processes

VOHN machine shop allows you to design custom rubber parts using: Waterjet Cutting and Compression Molding.

Materials

Some of the common materials used for rubber parts include Neoprene, Nitrile, Silicon and Natural rubber. 

Examples

Rubber parts cover a wide range of uses: tires, pencil erasers, covers for receptacles in electronic devices, non-slip feet for enclosures, keyboard keys, noise reduction devices, weather stripping, grommets, seals, caps, gaskets, grips, rollers, and diaphragms.
