WeProFab Project Support

Custom Rubber Manufacturing Built Around Your Part

WeProFab supports rubber sheets, converted gaskets and pads, extruded profiles, molded components and silicone products. Start with your drawing, application and order plan so the process can be matched to the part.

Capability map

Choose the process by part geometry

Sheet & rolls

Calendered or cured sheet supplied in defined thickness, width, finish and material.

Cut & converted parts

Gaskets, pads, strips and flat components made from sheet-based materials.

Extruded profiles

Continuous seals, strips, cords, tubing and custom cross-sections.

Molded parts

Three-dimensional components, rubber-to-metal parts and custom geometry.

Rubber sheet

Control material, thickness and surface for the next conversion step

Rubber sheet projects should define compound direction, hardness, thickness tolerance, width, roll length, reinforcement, surface and intended cutting or installation method.

Rubber manufacturing line prepared for custom profile production
Rubber profile cross sections for geometry comparison
Rubber material and hardness samples for specification review
Sheet conversion

Turn sheet into gaskets, pads, strips and protective parts

Die cutting

Efficient for repeated flat shapes when tooling, nesting and edge condition fit the quantity and tolerance.

CNC or digital cutting

Useful for prototypes, large formats or changing geometry where hard tooling may not be the first step.

Lamination and adhesive

Add backing, reinforcement or multi-layer construction when bonding and release-liner requirements are defined.

Extrusion

Build a stable cross-section over the required length

Extrusion fits continuous parts such as sealing profiles, cords, strips and tubing. The die, compound flow, cure, puller and cut operation must work together.

  • Solid, sponge and selected co-extruded structures
  • Cut lengths, continuous coils and joined profiles
  • Adhesive backing or secondary operations as specified
  • Profile measurement against critical section dimensions

Molding

Use molded production for three-dimensional rubber parts

Compression, transfer or injection approaches are selected around geometry, insert, compound, volume and tooling economics. Tool design and parting-line decisions should be reviewed before the drawing is frozen.

  • Custom seals, bellows, boots, grommets and vibration parts
  • Rubber-to-metal or insert-molded components
  • Prototype and production tooling routes
  • Trimming, post-cure and secondary inspection as applicable

Capabilities FAQ

Questions to answer before process selection

Can WeProFab produce from a drawing or an existing sample?
Both can start a review. A drawing gives clearer control of dimensions and revision; a physical sample helps capture geometry and finish. Critical requirements still need written confirmation.

Which rubber materials are available?
Common project directions include EPDM, NBR, neoprene, SBR, natural rubber, silicone and selected specialty compounds. The final choice depends on service and validation requirements.

Do I need tooling?
Extruded profiles and molded parts normally require tooling. Sheet conversion may use a die,digital cutting or another route depending on geometry and quantity.

Can one project include sheet, extruded and molded parts?
Yes, if each part has a controlled specification, quantity, tooling status and acceptance plan .Mixed projects should be organized as a clear parts list.

How are tolerances reviewed?
WeProFab reviews tolerance against material behavior, process capability and function.Critical fit or sealing dimensions should be identified separately from general dimensions.

What should I send for a quotation?
Send the drawing or sample, application, material direction, hardness, critical tolerance, quantity, annual demand, testing, packaging and delivery destination.
