Rapid Seal Prototyping

Rapid Seal Prototyping

Rapid seal prototyping refers to the use of rapid prototyping techniques to quickly design, develop, and test sealing components, such as gaskets, lip seals, or other similar parts. So now, instead of waiting months to build a finished product, you can test your idea in a few days or a week with rapid prototyping. At Independence Seal Company, we employ our cutting-edge technology to create seal prototypes for testing, design validation, and refinement.

Our Process

Here’s an overview of how we bring your seal designs to life:

  1. We begin by understanding your specific needs and application requirements. Whether it’s a new seal design or a replacement for an existing one, our team works closely with you to define key specifications, such as materials, dimensions, performance criteria, and environmental factors.
  2. Based on your application, we recommend the most suitable materials from our extensive range.
  3. We create precise prototypes tailored to your specifications using cutting-edge technology. For custom seals, our no tooling charges policy ensures cost-effectiveness without compromising quality.
  4. Once the prototype is complete, it undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets your performance requirements. Our testing includes pressure testing, leak testing, material compatibility checks, and other assessments. This testing validates the seal’s functionality and reliability
  5. Upon approval of the prototype, we move to production. Whether you need a single seal or a bulk order, our no-minimum quantity policy ensures flexibility for projects of all sizes.
