Dip Molding Process Bellows

Benefits of Dip Molding

Dip molding has grown into a popular manufacturing method over the last few years. The process is relatively inexpensive and is a simple and highly effective way to make specialized parts because it is a versatile and reliable method that requires minimal tooling. The other benefits of the process include:

• Dip molding has low setup costs and does not require secondary processing.
• The process creates high quality parts with a smooth, polished looking finish.
• This manufacturing process can produce components with a seamless surface.
• Due to the uniqueness and flexibility of the dip molding process, parts can be easily made longer or shorter, thicker or thinner as per the customers’ requirements.
• Lead times for dip molding tooling is substantially less compared to other plastic manufacturing process. Production parts can be ready in as little as 30 days.
• The process can produce quick and inexpensive prototypes including bellows, boots, and covers, among others.
• The process can deliver custom solutions quickly and effectively and offers myriad material hardness, texture, and color options.
