Custom liquid silicone rubber and metal
injection molded parts now available to product designers in days,
not weeks.
Proto Labs, Inc. (NYSE: PRLB), a leading online and
technology-enabled quick-turn manufacturer, has announced today
that product designers can now order liquid silicone rubber (LSR)
and metal injection molded (MIM) parts as a standard option under
its Protomold injection-molding service.

Utilizing the same approach that revolutionized plastic
injection molding, Proto Labs has applied its proprietary
technology to these new processes, making short-run liquid silicone
rubber and metal injection molded stainless steel parts available
faster than ever before.
Liquid silicone rubber is a thermoset engineering material that
is particularly suitable for applications in medical, electronics
and consumer products industries. Metal injection molding is a
mature, established manufacturing process for molding relatively
small metal parts, used frequently in medical, electronics and
automotive industries.
“Over the past year, our research and development program has
quickly advanced liquid silicone rubber molding and metal injection
molding with the quality and quick turnaround that is the trademark
of Proto Labs. I'm excited to begin my tenure at Proto Labs with
the launch of these new molding processes to our customers.
Incorporating LSR and MIM into our existing list of materials
allows current and future customers more diversity in prototyping
and small-volume manufacturing — something every product developer
focused on taking products from idea to market faster can
appreciate,” said Vicki Holt, President and CEO, Proto Labs.
