Real rubber prototyping

Mitigate the risk at the production stage

In real-world applications, rubber parts are often compressed or expanded, come into contact with different substances, at wide ranges of temperatures. Knowing how the actual part will react in its true functional environment is critical. While traditional rapid prototyping processes that use thermoplastics or polycarbonates are adequate for testing fit and form, they are more than often no substitute for testing function. That is why using real rubber prototypes can not only help speed up the design process but mitigate the risk for costly errors and rework at the production stage.  

Vicone offers real rubber prototyping services. It is a fast, easy and cost-effective method in which low volumes of molded or extruded rubber parts can be made. By streamlining the "CAD model-to-prototype" process you can reduce your lead times, while helping to validate your design and ensure proper fit, form and function in its real environment.
