Silicone moulds for prototypes and pre-series

Fast production of components for validation and testing

We produce silicone moulds for prototypes and small batches in plastic and rubber.

This allows the product to be verified before investing in a definitive mould. This solution represents an intermediate step between 3D printing and industrial production, making it possible to obtain components that faithfully reproduce the final product with reduced time and costs.

Silicone mould production

The process starts with a master model, supplied by the customer or produced from a 3D file.

The master is used to create the silicone mould, which makes it possible to reproduce the component with high precision and excellent surface quality.

The mould can be produced in less time than steel moulds, helping accelerate product development activities.

Pre-series production

This phase makes it possible to collect information before the start of definitive production, reducing the risk of subsequent changes.

Silicone moulds are particularly suitable for:

Project validation before the definitive mould

Producing a limited series of components makes it possible to verify the real behaviour of the product and identify any design optimisations.

Using silicone moulds therefore helps improve the industrialisation process, containing development time and costs.

Integration with the production process

From prototype production to construction of the definitive mould, we support the project towards the next stage of industrial production.

Silicone moulds are particularly effective in the early stages of product development and can be integrated with the other services offered by Protoproject.

Work from files and models

Every project is assessed to identify the most suitable solution according to the component’s characteristics and development goals.

We produce silicone moulds from:

Services

Surface finishing

Finishing treatments and processes to enhance the aesthetics, functionality, and final quality of industrial components.

Sheet-metal fabrication

Laser cutting, bending, and welding of steel, aluminum, and iron for custom-designed components and structures.

Aluminium die casting

Production of die-cast aluminum components for mass production requiring precision, lightness, and repeatability.

Plastic injection moulding and overmoulding

Production of thermoplastic components via injection molding and co-molding, from pre-series to industrial production.

Mould making

We manufacture molds for the production of industrial plastic and aluminum components, supporting companies during the product industrialization phase.

CNC machining

Milling, turning, drilling, and surface finishing of plastic and metal for prototypes, small batches, and continuous production.

Silicone moulds

Production of silicone molds for prototypes and pre-series runs, ideal for validating components and reducing industrialization times and costs.

3D Printing

We manufacture prototypes and components using SLA, SLS, MJF, and DMLS additive technologies, supporting the development and validation of new products.
