Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) injection and compression molding both produce custom silicone parts, but they suit different geometries and volumes. Dongguan Yunze Silicone Products Co., Ltd. runs both processes to match each project.
| Factor | LSR Injection | Compression Molding |
|---|---|---|
| Tooling cost | Higher | Lower |
| Cycle time | Fast, automated | Slower, manual |
| Tolerance | Tight | Moderate |
| Best volume | High | Low to medium |
| Complexity | Intricate, thin walls | Simple shapes |
Pick LSR for high-volume, high-precision, or miniaturized parts where repetition matters.
Pick compression molding for prototypes, low volumes, and large parts.
LSR injection generally achieves tighter, more repeatable tolerances.
Yes, compression tooling can validate designs before LSR investment.
