Existing Product Diagnosis
Send us your current product. Our engineering team performs a full teardown and benchmark analysis to identify every opportunity for improvement.
Structural Review
Wall thickness, draft angles, gating points, and weak zones causing deformation or breakage.
Material Audit
Hardness, elasticity, aging resistance, and compliance (FDA, LFGB, RoHS, REACH).
Process Analysis
Cycle time, scrap rate, flash, and inefficiencies in molding or post-processing.
Cost Breakdown
Full BOM, labor, and overhead mapping to pinpoint where every dollar is spent.
Structure & User Experience Optimization
We redesign geometry for better ergonomics, improved sealing performance, and easier use -- all while making the part easier (and cheaper) to manufacture.
-
Ergonomic refinement -- contact surfaces, grip zones, and comfort for extended use.
-
Seal & fit improvement -- eliminate leaks on goggles, caps, earplugs, and snorkel bites.
-
DFM-driven geometry -- remove undercuts, optimize wall thickness, and reduce stress points.
-
Visual & brand upgrade -- surface texture, logo embossing, and premium finish.
Material Substitution & Hardness Tuning
Choosing the right silicone grade and Shore hardness directly impacts durability, feel, and cost. We help you pick the optimal formulation for your use case.
Soft & Flexible
Ideal for swim caps, mouthpieces, and skin-contact sealing where comfort is critical.
Balanced Performance
Our most-recommended grade for goggle gaskets, nose clips, and ear plugs.
Rigid & Durable
For structural parts, hand paddles edges, and wearable device housings.
LSR vs HCR Selection
We advise between Liquid Silicone (LSR) for precision and High-Consistency Rubber (HCR) for cost efficiency.
Certified Food-Grade Base
All alternatives remain FDA, LFGB, RoHS, and REACH compliant -- no safety trade-offs.
Mold & Production Efficiency
Optimizing the mold is often where the biggest cost savings hide. We rebuild tooling to increase cavity count, reduce cycle time, and eliminate scrap.
More Cavities
Higher output per shot through optimized cavity layout.
Cycle Time
Improved gating, venting, and cooling flow.
Flash & Burrs
Automated injection with ±0.1mm tolerance.
Machines
Solid + liquid silicone capacity in-house.
Parts Reduction & Assembly Simplification
Every additional component adds cost, labor, and potential failure points. We consolidate multiple parts into unified silicone components wherever possible.
Multi-shot & Two-color Molding
Combine hard and soft materials into one integrated part -- no glue, no assembly.
Overmolding & Insert Molding
Bond silicone directly onto plastic or metal substrates for seamless construction.
Snap-fit & Toolless Assembly
Replace screws and adhesives with engineered interfaces -- faster QC, lower labor.
Quality Stability Improvement
Reduce defect rates and customer complaints with ISO 9001-controlled processes, SOP-based inspection, and comprehensive performance testing.
Full Performance Testing
Tensile, tear, aging, impact, and temperature/humidity cycling on every batch.
SOP-based Inspection
100% visual check + AQL sampling for dimensions, function, and adhesion.
+45% Toughness
Verified improvement in material resilience, extending product life cycle.
