Frequently asked questions
Is draft angle required for LSR parts
While 1 degree of draft is common in LSR parts, zero draft can occasionally be tolerated on shallow parts. The nature of LSR allows the rules of draft to be stretched more so than thermoplastics, if mould construction permits.
Can you overmould with LSR?
Yes, overmoulding works extremely well for a number of devices that require special aesthetics. LSR can be moulded onto both bondable and non-bondable materials, including metal, glass and ceramics.
