Rapid prototyping

Before a product can be mass-produced, it must pass various tests and the prototype must be fully functional and error-free in its application. Only then can the product be released for mass production. This is why our product developers produce for very complex developments what is referred to as “hand samples” for development tests in addition to a simulation. This may also be done using 3D printing.

Hand samples

“Hand samples”, also known as “laboratory samples”, are prototypes that were 100% handcrafted in the laboratory. They are used to evaluate the developed design on the part very quickly and to carry out initial preliminary tests during development – rapid prototyping, for instance, is extremely helpful, especially for very complex parts. Prototypes can be created within 4-5 working days. They are handmade (which is why there are a maximum of 10-20 pieces), but they are made from the real material and properly vulcanized.

3D printing

We use 3D printing to support our internal testing and seal design in order to get real results quickly and easily. We manufacture silicone components for verification as well as testing equipment and adapters for testing them in-house

With the help of this new technology, we are opening up completely new worlds for component development in terms of speed and flexibility. Because what was originally only possible after several weeks using injection molded parts from production is now possible in a laboratory on a small scale within a few days or even hours.

This technology supports our seal design and the selection of materials – in the event that elastomer components have to be tested on a real part during the now purely virtual development of elastomer components.

Rapid Tooling

Rapid Tooling

Receiving the first near-series LSR parts from starlim after just 10 days is possible thanks to rapid tooling from sterner. This concept was developed in order to be able to offer customers the first injection molded parts within a short period of time.

Test tool

Test tool

With the help of a test tool, we can manufacture the first LSR injection molded parts for starlim’s customers under series conditions within a very short time.

Silicone Micro Molding

Micro-silicone components lighter than 10 mg

Silicone micro molding is a specialized manufacturing process employed to produce extremely small precision silicone components. It is a further development of the classic injection molding process where the focus is on the processing of silicone in microscopic dimensions. We at starlim are capable of manufacturing micro-silicone components weighing less than 10 mg with precision undercuts and indentations.

Clean room

Clean room

In order to have a controlled environment for the production of the purest silicone parts, starlim has its own clean room. This is certified according to the classes ISO 14644-1 class 7 & 8 as well as GMP class C&D.

Production

Production

In the fully automatic injection molding process, one-component and multi-component parts are made from silicone at starlim. Production takes place at the Austrian locations in Marchtrenk, Weißkirchen and Lambach as well as in our Canadian branch in London / Ontario.
