Advantages of Rubber molding
Rubber has good tear resistance and sealing properties. Its one of the most widely used material to make washers, gaskets for enclosures and flexible parts
- Tear resistance
- High flexibility
- Fast molding
- Variable shore hardness

Design guidelines for Rubber molding
Minimum wall thickness for Rubber parts
A minimum wall thickness of 0.5mm to a maximum of 6mm can be achieved for Rubber parts. Rubber flows well even in small areas
Uniform wall thickness
A uniform wall thickness should be maintained throughout the part to ensure smooth flow of material. Inconsistent wall thickness will hamper filling
Draft angles
ABS injection molded parts generally have a 1 – 2 degree draft to ensure easy removal of part from the mold
Sharp corners
A fillet has to be added in all sharp corners to ensure easy flow of material
