Design with Silicone and rubbers

 

I have designed several products, primarily in Silicone rubber but also in other types of synthetic rubbers like Thermoplastic Elastomers and foam rubber such as EVA. I have also designed in soft plastics like Hytrel. I make use of the mechanical and aesthetic properties of the material, such as its tactile feel for user friendly products. I know how to use the over-moulding technology in order to combine Silicone and synthetic rubbers with rigid plastics to enhance the mechanical and ergonomic properties of a product.
