Our standard production molding produces components with weights greater than 10 mg. Since the rules of the game are completely different when it comes to silicone components under 10 mg, starlim’s definition of micromolding begins here. Silicone micro molding is a specialized manufacturing process employed to produce extremely small precision silicone components. It is a further development of the classic injection molding process where the focus is on the processing of silicone in microscopic dimensions. We at starlim are capable of manufacturing micro-silicone components weighing less than 10 mg with precision undercuts and indentations. The smallest component manufactured to date by starlim for the medical sector only weighed 0.00049 g. It is difficult to find a comparison that matches this. 0.0005g is roughly equivalent to the weight of two grains of salt or the wings of a fruit fly. We are convinced that even smaller components can be created. Micro injection molding at starlim enables the production of extremely small, high-precision components for sophisticated applications in medical technology, microelectronics and the mobility sector. We employ the latest production technology to produce microstructured components, ultralight microform parts in the milligram range and micro-precision molded parts with tolerances in the µm range.

Revolutionary marking technology and impressive visual effects in the new silicone sample plate 3.0! Joint developments from starlim, the world’s largest silicone injection molders, and the renowned Reichle Technologiezentrum have moved to the next level. Technical know-how in the area of silicone injection molding gained by starlim over many years aids innovative adaptations in the area of silicone articles. Femto laser technology employed by Reichle enables the integration of holograms, color effects, textures without depth and particularly high surface qualities in molds. And the results of bundling this expertise: the silicone sample plate 3.0. Innovative marking options The new silicone sample plate 3.0 offers a few remarkable highlights. With dimensions of 120 x 160 mm and a thickness of 2.7 mm, it is now available in two colors: elegant black and a cool white. Both variants impress through a new property for silicone, as they contain a color changing additive. This additive facilitates the individual marking of silicone components with a laser to create serial numbers, product information or decorative elements. Depending on the individual color chosen, it is possible to select a color change to black or white, thus creating an optimum contrast after the laser process. According to ISO 10993-5, the laser changing colors employed are harmless when in contact with skin (cytotoxicity) and approved by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), the FDA and USP Class 6. Design meets utility A particular highlight is the integrated lenticular image. Different motives become visible on the same surface when the plate is tilted. In addition, the sample plate 3.0 offers numerous 3D structures with hologram surfaces. These innovative features enable the creation of unique hallmarks in silicone components, thus ensuring their authenticity.

The Simscan-E is a wireless 3D scanner that can be used to precisely digitize components. The accuracy of 0.015mm + 0.035mm/m is in a range that represents a cost-effective option for quality assurance for many applications. Come and take a look at the scanner at our Vision Center booth.

Knowing how to avoid errors beforehand is crucial. Simulation is far more than just colorful images and their interpretation. It is about providing the most precise prediction possible of how a process will behave and whether the component meets the requirements – this needs to be clarified as early as possible in the development phase to make the right decisions. We are an expert partner of SimpaTec for Moldex3D simulations in the field of reactive materials and offer a comprehensive service: - Creation of custom material maps for the precise simulation of non-standard materials - Simulation of mold filling, weld lines, warpage, and even reactivity - Thermal calculation of mold heating and cooling concepts - FEA finite element analysis for calculating component properties - Validation of results in our pilot plant and measurement center
