Simulations
FEA (finite element analysis), also called simulation, is a common and wide-used modern calculation method in engineering and is one of the standard tools in precast component simulation.
At starlim, it is a tool that is used for product and component development in order to be able to simulate the function of a silicone component virtually in the development stage. The topic of simulation is here a direct part of the product development process as one of the main components for design validation on the virtual component. The focus is on the simulation of prefabricated components made of liquid silicone with all its unique properties.
starlim’s silicone FEA service portfolio:
- Complete in-house simulation possible
- Simulation of complete systems
- Pre- and post-processing directly in the product development stage
- Material characterization for simulation directly in the product development stage
- Know-how & database for the silicone materials used at starlim (direct transfer to the simulation environment possible)
- Verification of the simulation results in the development laboratory
Your benefits:
- Analysis of demolding processes in the injection molding tool (focus on production)
- Simulation of the assembly processes
- Component optimization, variant calculation
- Analysis of the actual systems (e.g. in the event of failure)
- Analysis of the silicone component in the installation situation
- Analysis of the sealing behavior
- 2-component analysis of the sealing behavior for multi-materials
- Component development, product development/component development on a virtual model

Product Development
Product development
At starlim, we have extensive material and process knowledge about the phenomenon of silicone. With reference to your requirements, we start with the product development together.
Tool making
Tool making
In our in-house tool shop, the molds for the injection molding production of the starlim are designed and built. This makes us flexible and independent.
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.
Micro injection molding
Micro injection molding
At starlim, components are manufactured in large series as standard, which have a weight of at least 10mg. We refer to silicone components under 10mg as micro injection molding.
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.
