Rapid prototyping is vital to help you keep your business moving at a fast pace and keep your customers interested in your brand. Introducing new products helps you stay relevant to your customer and helps you keep providing solutions to new problems. Being able to constantly innovate new and exciting offerings can be the key to success, no matter what industry you are in. 

Why Does Prototyping Speed Matter? 

If you’re needing to rapidly bring a new product to market or refining an existing process with new elements to make it more efficient, getting a prototype ready as fast as possible is critical to your success. As you look for a partner to produce a prototype for you, be sure that you seek out an experienced manufacturer who can offer a wide range of production methods.

At Rubber Industries, we have helped clients from every industry create thousands of prototypes of new products and produce the actual components needed to take the product from a dream to a reality. Our experience with prototyping helps us create exactly what you are looking for out of nitrile, HNBR, epdm or another type of elastomer suitable for use in the automotive or medical industries. 


What Kind of Prototype Products Can We Make For You? 

Some of the prototype components that we can create in a hurry using rubber to metal bonded technology include: 

  • o-rings
  • gaskets
  • seals
  • caps
  • buttons
  • plugs
  • bellows
  • diaphragms


Reinforcing the softer portions of these pieces with metal will help create a long lasting product that can withstand heavy use or chemical exposure. 

High Quality Silicone Prototyping 

Our rubber prototyping is done quickly, but it still done with the high quality standards we use in all of our nitrile, neoprene, HNBR, epdm, FKM and viton manufacturing. Our fastest prototyping service can have a high quality product delivered to you within days or even months. We manufacture an actual steel prototype mold to make your medical, industrial or automotive prototype. This is not a temporary aluminum mold that many companies use in rubber prototyping that will often produce sub-quality results. Our custom molding allows us to follow all of your specifications. 

Our Prototyping Helps You Bring Your Invention to Market FAST! 

With your new product, the process of rapid prototyping can help your product become a reality. Each part of the process should move quickly to help you keep momentum going and drive the process of bringing your product to market and to your existing and potential customers.

Our team will work around the clock to get your prototype in your hands as soon as possible.

When you are ready to go into full scale production of your invention, there is no need to search for a new vendor and start the process all over again. Rubber Industries can manufacture your product and help you bring it to market. 


Why Choose Rubber Industries to Provide The Fastest Prototyping Service? 

There are several reasons to partner with us for neoprene, FKM, viton, epdm, nitrile or silicone prototyping, including: 

  • We use quality steel tools to create a durable prototype that will save you money, time, and headaches so you don't have temporary aluminum tooling. 

  • Our team works around the clock to meet any deadline you set. With our facility located in the United States and partners in Asia, we are able to accommodate your needs regardless of weekends, holidays or an usually quick timeline.

  • Our production team can create thousands of small parts, like caps, plugs and seals, in a matter of days. 
​
  • We have expertise in different kinds of production and the ideal materials to use with each one, including 1 cavity to multi cavity molding, silicone to metal bonded, overmolded production and custom tooling. We have created everything from small parts like o-rings and gaskets to larger pieces like bellows and diaphragms, and can offer you insight on how to get the best result. 


Contact us today to find out more about how we use rapid prototyping for overmolded parts to create a rubber to metal bonded prototype product for our clients. Our silicone to metal bonded prototypes are among the best in the industry.
