|---|---|---|---|
| Wall Thickness | 1.0mm - 3.0mm (Uniform) | We design specialized mold venting channels to prevent trapped air and help improve thin-wall curing stability. | Maintain consistent thickness to ensure even heating and curing. Avoid abrupt changes in thickness. |
| Undercuts | Highly flexible, easily demolded | Unlike rigid plastics, silicone's elasticity allows us to mold complex internal undercuts without expensive side-action cams. | Design undercuts with smooth radii to prevent tearing during the demolding process. |
| Tolerances | Standard ±0.05mm | Because we machine our molds on highly rigid HAAS & Mazak CNCs, we control flash to an absolute minimum. | Specify tighter tolerances only on critical sealing surfaces to keep tooling costs highly economical. |
