The purpose of this 115-page Design Guide is to provide a better understanding of the processes, materials, and technical considerations involved in the design and manufacture of custom-molded rubber and plastic parts. By understanding these considerations, better control of costs and improved product performance are accomplished.

The Design Guide is a must reference for everyone involved in the design and manufacture of molded rubber and plastic components and assemblies. It contains detailed and technical illustrations while being easy to read throughout.

The Design Guide is divided into seven easy to reference sections: (1) Designing Rubber Components, (2) Designing Plastic Components, (3) Elastomer Materials, (4) Plastic & Thermoplastic Elastomer Materials, (5) Standard Rubber Products Including Seals, (6) Glossary Of Terms, (7) The Company Behind The Parts. 

Within each of the seven sections is a handy reference to specific subjects of interest. These include how to build a prototype, selecting the mold, understanding material properties, and much more. 

The Design Guide content is the result of more than 60 years of successful experience by Minnesota Rubber and Plastics serving customers globally. The thousands of ideas and processes it contains will be of benefit to both experienced and beginning designers.
