Silicone Elastomers Technology and Fabrication Course
Join our mailing list to stay updated
This 4-day university-accredited course offers a comprehensive overview of silicone elastomers. This course emphasizes fabrication processes in injection molding liquid silicone rubber (LIM/LSR) and provides information on the extrusion and calendering of high-consistency silicone rubber (HCR). The class is uniquely formatted to show from beginning to end, the sequence of designing and fabricating with silicone rubber. Featured within this course is a one-day “field trip” to M.R. Mold & Engineering during which attendees will experience the manufacturing of LSR molding and tool design. The day will also introduce calendering and extrusion fabrication processes with silicone rubber.
Date: Jan 30-Feb 2, 2024 (MD&M West is Feb 6-8)
Time: 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

This course offers a comprehensive overview of silicone elastomers, including basic silicone chemistry, mold manufacturing, information regarding pumping units and molding machines, manufacturing processes, fabrication techniques, problem solving and application areas. Emphasis is on liquid injection molding (LIM/LSR). This course is presented by experts in the silicone field, and time is allotted for special project. This course is unique in that it offers a full day of hands-on process training at M.R. Mold & Engineering Corporation.
The course is taught from the basics of silicone technology to higher level topics from industry experts with plenty of time for interactive Q&A. Whatever your experience level is coming into the class, the expectations are that students will significantly progress. Past attendees indicate that this is the case. Industry disciplines that have found the course useful are Molding Technicians, Process Engineers, Laboratory Managers, Production Supervisors, Technicians, Shop Foremen, QA Managers and Engineers, Technical Sales, Marketing Managers, and Rubber Chemists. Silicone materials professionals seeking knowledge of fabrication processes find the course useful. Of course, designers of molded parts, particularly in the Medical Device field (Medical OEM) find value in learning key principles.
