Flashless molding with precision and detail
Approved supplier for the aerospace, medical and pharmaceutical industries
LAXMI is an approved supplier of silicone parts for the aerospace, medical and pharmaceutical industries. We specialize in high volume liquid silicone injection-molded rubber parts, short run-prototype silicone parts, and over-molding of silicone onto plastic. We also process a wide range of compounds such as solid silicone, HCR/HTV/LSR and other elastomer types
We work with medical device, aerospace and pharma engineers, on their new product development. Laxmi offers the advantage of a highly experienced team of silicone engineers with years of tooling, part design and production know-how.
Liquid Silicone Rubber - LSR molding
Liquid Silicone Rubber is a thermoset material and though a versatile, widely used material, it is a difficult material to process due to its low viscosity and its tendency to "flash" in even the smallest of gap. Aiming for the highest quality in LSR components, Laxmi takes a holistic approach to the engineering of component, tooling and overall process. The manufacture of 120 molds has provided Laxmi with the experience and capability to build molds for a variety of LSR components of varied geometry. We understand and apply our knowledge of how to process LSR. The parts we manufacture have applications ranging from drug delivery such as primary drug packaging or wearable smart drug pump systems, fluid management, diagnostics, to biotechnology. We support high production volumes that feature: - “Flash-less” molding
- Complex part geometry
- Fast curing cycles
- Class 8 clean room
- Available press sizes: 20 - 80 Tons
High Consistency Rubber - HCR molding
Laxmi understands the special considerations required to manufacture quality HCR silicone injection molded parts as it poses unique challenges compared to organic polymer-based rubber compounds. A wide array of colorings is possible. Our capabilities include: -
- Low to moderate production volumes
- Compression and transfer molding
- White room molding
2-Component Parts or Over-molded Parts - 2K molding
We have experience with 2-component parts or overmolding silicone onto plastic parts. Through a highly specialized and automated process we carefully control the injection of multiple materials, including two different kinds of resin, into a single, multi-chambered mold.
- LSR-to-Plastic
- Plastic-to-Plastic
- Multiple color combinations
High Volume
- Cold runner silicone injection molding solutions for high-volume customer applications is suitable for a wide variety of elastomers.
- The process allows for quick and easy color changes and includes robotics.
Low Volume
- Laxmi supports short run silicone molding and part production.
- We are also able to make silicone part and mold design changes with an efficient turnaround time, shortening our customer’s product development cycle.
- After designing new virtual models in CAD, customers need to rapidly produce physical prototypes before launching into production.
- Our prototype liquid and silicone rubber parts are produced in short turnaround cycles.
