Custom Silicone Molding Services
DFM review, in-house tooling, compression molding, LSR injection, 2-shot molding, insert molding and overmolding — organized around your part, market and order plan.
One Project, One Manufacturing Plan
Choose the Right Molding Process
There is no single best silicone molding method for every product. Geometry, undercuts, tolerance, appearance, material, expected volume and target cost all influence the right route.
CYES SILICONE reviews these inputs before tooling so that design decisions, sampling criteria and production expectations are aligned.
Molding Options
Compression, LSR Injection and Overmolding
Use this as an initial guide. Final process selection follows a project-specific engineering review.
| Process | Often considered for | Key project factors |
|---|---|---|
| Compression molding | Solid silicone parts, seals, kitchenware, covers and medium-volume programs | Part size, cavity layout, flash control, material and expected quantity |
| LSR injection molding | Fine details, repeatable production, complex geometries and higher-volume programs | Material system, tool investment, gating, automation and validation needs |
| Overmolding | Silicone combined with engineered thermoplastics (PC, PA66, PBT) or metal components | Substrate, bonding, insert positioning, temperature and interface design |
| 2-shot & insert molding | Multi-material parts and embedded components in one cycle | Material compatibility, bond strength, insert placement and mold complexity |

What Happens During Your Project
2
Tooling & Sampling
Tool design and sampling establish the approved dimensions, appearance, hardness and workmanship.
3
Production & Finishing
Molding is followed by required trimming, post-curing, printing, marking, assembly or packaging.
4
Inspection & Delivery
Inspection criteria, packaging and shipping details are confirmed before dispatch.

Common Questions
Custom Silicone Molding FAQ
The choice depends on part geometry, material, detail, expected volume and budget. Compression molding is often practical for solid silicone parts, while LSR injection can suit complex or higher-volume parts. CYES SILICONE reviews these factors before recommending a route.
Yes. A sample, sketch, photo or clear description can start the discussion. Dimensions, application and estimated quantity will still be needed before final tooling and production decisions.
Yes. Pre-production samples allow color, hardness, dimensions, fit and surface finish to be reviewed before volume production.
Provide CAD or drawings if available, application, target market, material or compliance needs, dimensions, hardness, color, estimated quantity, packaging and target schedule.
