Process Catalog
Silicone Manufacturing Process & Service Catalog
Use this directory to find the engineering or production stage that matches your project.
RUUIPON supports custom silicone development from DFM and CAD through RTV mold making, HCR/HTV compression molding, LSR injection molding, silicone overmolding, prototype validation, quality control, repeat production and export support.
Define the Manufacturing Route Before Tooling
DFM Review
Review undercuts, release/ejection, parting lines, wall/support, fit, inserts, cavity layout and process risk.
CAD / 3D Development
Create or modify production geometry from sketches, drawings, artwork or samples.
Reverse Engineering From Sample
Measure and reconstruct geometry when a physical sample is the most reliable reference.
Flexible Molds Used to Cast Another Material
Services can include:
- master-pattern development
- one-piece / split-mold planning
- plug/core design
- support-shell design
- multi-cavity tray engineering
- vacuum-degassed RTV process where appropriate
- food-contact quoting/document review
- prototype/test-cast planning
- reorder/recaster support
Finished Silicone Products in Heated Tooling
RUUIPON can review:
- compression tooling
- molded silicone products
- HCR/HTV DFM
- material/hardness

- shipping quotation
- DDP review where available
I only have a physical sample. Which service do I choose?
Start with CAD/reverse engineering + DFM.
I need a silicone lid to fit an existing rigid product. Which route?
Send the real physical sample if fit is critical. The geometry and production quantity will determine the tooling/process route.
I need both a prototype and future mass production. Can the same project cover both?
Yes. Define prototype validation first, then quote the production route after approval.
Is the service catalog RTV-only?
No.
Can I start without knowing HCR vs LSR?
Yes. Describe the final product and quantity.
