Rubber molded parts are available through either the injection or compression molding processes. Rubber injection molding offers many of the same benefits as plastic-injected parts: low cost and high volume with minimal finishing. Compression molding, however, is particularly advantageous for large, fairly intricate parts.
Compression Molding is the original production method for molded rubber. It is a useful molding process for forming bulky parts, bellows, grommets, gaskets, seals and O-rings, etc. It is a widely used, efficient, economical production method for many products particularly low production volumes of medium to large parts, materials with a high cost and applications that demand extreme hardness. The process involves compressing preformed rubber in a mold with a press. During the compression process, rubber is forced into the mold cavity to form the final product.
Advantages
Rubber Compression Molding offers advantages over other methods by providing:
Tooling savings
Short setup time (saves on short production runs)
The capacity to process stiff,high durometer materials
Least amount of waste
