Co-development
Thinking about toolmaking from the outset saves time and costs and achieves better results - a strategic lever for quality, speed and innovation.
In the silicone injection molding industry, one thing counts above all else: precision. In order to turn a product idea into a reliable and economically producible component, all the gears must mesh perfectly - from development to toolmaking to series production. A key success factor is the early process integration of design and toolmaking. This significantly increases efficiency, especially in complex silicone injection molding.
The decisive advantage: early integration
We bundle development, tool manufacture and production under one roof. This saves time, reduces costs and promotes genuine collaboration. The earlier our toolmakers are involved, the better. Co-development creates a direct exchange between development, toolmaking and production. This allows challenges to be identified early on, solved pragmatically and processes to be designed efficiently.
Project implementation in top time
Our toolmaking specialists contribute their expertise right from the design phase. This means that the requirements of the injection molding process are taken into account right from the start. The benefits:
- optimized moulded part geometries
- shortened development cycles
- fewer iterations
- reduced risk of contamination in cleanroom projects
More quality, less friction losses
RICO contributes comprehensive expertise in LSR processing as well as many years of experience in "Design for Manufacturing" (DfM) - i.e. the production-oriented design of components.
Key areas of focus:
- Functional geometries: such as sealing lips or restoring zones
- Targeted material selection: Shore hardness, transparency, biocompatibility
- Integration of multi-component parts: Thermoplastic, metal, inserts
- Tolerance management and demoldability
