Carolin Grandt, Product Line Director and Andrew Thomas, Technical Manager will outline design principles, Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) and high consistency silicone rubber (HCR) material formulations. They will showcase our global silicone processing capabilities, which ensure consistency of manufacture, quality and supply worldwide.

Join us on a virtual tour of our LSR Manufacturing Global Center of Excellence in Stein am Rhein, Switzerland. You’ll gain an understanding of our development partnership approach to design and discover how we produce components of the highest level of complexity and accuracy, utilizing Swiss precision tooling, process and automation technology.

Providing the right solution for an application can be challenging. Carolin Grandt, Product Line Director will highlight our Design for Manufacturing (DfM) approach and the sophisticated tool and process engineering techniques that allow us to develop the most innovative solutions, including combining two, three or more individual materials into one fully bonded, robust component.

Daniel Hauser, Manager Sales Development Europe, Alan Coppini, Engineer Custom Product Engineering and Andrew Thomas, Technical Manager will discuss the critical success factors for development partnerships through Quality by Design. From concept development through to feasibility analysis, concept validation and serial production at scale, our experts share insight from collaborative success.

Jarno Burkhardt, General Manager Stein am Rhein will outline our unique iCast™ digital manufacturing process. Involving no tool investment, iCast™ offers a cost-effective way to develop product variations or try out different design concepts before investing in serial production tools, as well as enabling the start of pre-series and series production with small batches.
