Custom LSR design, prototyping and manufacturing company for complex components in medical devices, water food & beverage and other demanding industries.
XTmade has been committed to meeting our customers' custom molded rubber needs. Our expertise enables us to provide solutions to the most difficult applications.
Our focus at XTmade is service to our customers. Whether your needs are for 10 pieces or millions, we will establish a partnership with you from the beginning. In this way, we can work as a team to create your exact needs. Your specific requirements are considered throughout every stage of the project.
If you’re looking for a proven design to injection molding manufacturing resource for your custom LSR projects, our company has you covered. LSR is among a large portfolio of elastomers our customers spec for projects requiring unique properties. For example, in medical device applications LSR is a common material choice because of its biocompatibility with body tissue.
Experts within our advanced materials lab can help you make the right materials choices. Our materials scientists are experts in the full range of platinum cured silicones and peroxide cured silicones. One of our materials scientists will help you determine if the on-spec requirements are the best choice for the application, or if an alternative off-spec material choice will provide a higher level of quality, reliability and performance to the end product.
From designing, prototyping, tooling management, manufacturing, and distribution, we comply with all regulatory guidelines, including ISO 13485 and 21CFR820.
At XTmade, we thrive on challenges. Benefit from our rubber engineering experience and find solutions made just for you. But it’s really our can-do attitude and fast turnaround times that keep our clients coming back.
Our basic guidelines for silicone rubber molding include important design considerations to help improve part moldability, enhance cosmetic appearance, and reduce overall production time.

XTmade is an environmentally responsible silicone company exclusively focused on the production of customized injection molded Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) parts, LSR overmolded parts, and LSR 2-Shot (LSR/Thermoplastics) and Multi-Shot components. Our team of experts has decades of knowledge and experience injection molding LSR. We provide greater value to our partners by providing a full portfolio of services from early design and prototype support to customized manufacturing processes and quality systems to provide custom solutions that address the specific needs of each program and that deliver high-precision, high-volume, and high-quality Liquid Silicone Rubber and LSR Multi-Shot molded components.
We’ll collaborate with you early in a project to help you consider quality and certifications to avoid rework that increases cost and delays projects. Rely on us to:
The more we work together and share information the more our experts can help anticipate your needs and avoid and mitigate risks to your project.
Some customers call us after they discover the prototype they contracted to build was delivered with a minor flaw: unfortunately it couldn’t be manufactured. You’d be surprised how often that happens; in the haste to build a quick prototype, designers/engineers with limited elastomer experience end up with a seemingly perfect design, yet it’s impossible to manufacture at scale.
We collaborate with you early in the project to focus on quality and better understand the design input and output requirements of your custom parts. Allowing us to better understand the design intent of the product, will lead to a smoother product launch, greatly reducing future risk. Examples of questions we will help you answer include:
We rely on in-house tooling and sophisticated process engineering to improve quality and ensure the consistent achievement of tight tolerances while delivering the lowest cost of ownership for our customers.
shop; Not temporary tooling like other companies. Then, we take the project from prototyping to completed production. You never have to have another company enter the production process. Some of the services we offer are:
Some applications benefiting from LSR injection molding include:
LSR injection molding offers custom manufacturing opportunities and is a sought-after solution due to its ability to mold complex part geometries, excellent mechanical properties, and purity. Other benefits include:
