LABORATORY WORKSHEET FOR SILICONE RUBBER MOLD &
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
This is an SL (Stereolithography) vacuum molding machine designed for small amount
production and provides products for different kind of testing in new products research and
development.
The outlook of the machine is shown below:
APPLICATIONS OF SILICON RUBBER MAKING MACHINE
It’s an optimal precise die for making molds for:

Complex Shaped products.
ADVANTAGES OF SILICONE RUBBER
Good tearing strength
Perfect shape
Resists high temperature up to 200°C.
Can retain its softness at temperature of 50°C and below zero.
Excellent fluidity & operational performance
Can be operated easily within 30 minutes at room temperature.
OBJECTIVE
To examine and determine cause of die defects during silicon mold making in contrast to sand
casting.
To compare production of bottle from existing product and that made by 3D printing.
To correlate the aspect of Sand casting as a research tool in innovation and prototyping of
products prior to production.
