Computed tomography
Computed tomography (CT) is an imaging procedure used in radiology. It involves the creation of absorption profiles of an object from many directions and the reconstruction of the volume structure from them. This volume structure then, as with a 3D model, can be used for analyses and measurements.
We at starlim use computed tomography for customer support, as well as for the development and quality assurance of our silicone parts.
- Customer support: e.g. general parts analysis, failure analysis, analysis and parts comparison
- Quality assurance: part measurement, quick OK/NOK analysis, analysis and measurement of complex structures
- Development: failure analysis, data preparation for simulation, analysis of components (including multi-material), verification of developments
The benefits:
Metrotomography significantly shortens development processes, analyzes the quality in the manufacturing process and visualizes defects in the components in relation to the total part in the shortest possible time. With various evaluation options, everything can be visualized in the informative, easily understandable color representation of the geometry comparison to the detailed initial sample test report (target-actual comparison by overlaying the design data). Using the same digital data set, metrotomography can visualize and measure structures which make it necessary to destroy the components when using conventional coordinate measuring machines. Whether porosity or damage analysis, assembly, defect or material analysis; everything is made possible with the help of the 3D volume 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
We stick to the “single source supply” principle. Marchtrenk is not only the center for the development of products. Here we design and produce the molds for injection molding products exclusively in our own tool making department. Our expertise is concentrated entirely here at our HQ. This makes us independent and we can react in a flexible manner.
Rapid Tooling
Rapid Tooling
Early mass production-like LSR parts within only 10 working days – this is rapid tooling starlim-sterner-style.
Rapid Tooling – fast tool making – was developed so our customers could be offered first LSR injection parts after a brief time span; those parts were made under mass production-like conditions.
Test tool
Test tool
First serial parts within a short span of time. By producing a test tool it is possible to offer our customers LSR injection molding parts which after a brief time span were made under mass production conditions.
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.
