PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
OEM / ODM
01 / ESKY SUPPLY
Silicone Product Development from Concept to Production
ESKY works with product teams from early manufacturing review through tooling, samples, validation and repeat production.
Custom Development
Product development and dedicated tooling around your application.
Quality & Delivery
Quality control, assembly, packaging and shipment coordination.
WHAT YOU CAN SEND
Start From Whatever You Have
A complete CAD package is welcome but not required. You can start with a concept brief, a hand sketch, a reference product, a sample unit or 2D drawings - plus target use, quantities and any mating parts. We will tell you exactly what is still needed after the first review.
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
A Structured Path to Production
Each stage has clear review points, so you decide when to move forward.
Concept / CAD Review
Send a concept, sketch, CAD file or reference sample. We review feasibility, application and manufacturing requirements before anything is committed.
DFM & Material Selection
Geometry, material, hardness, process route and risk points are reviewed and confirmed with you before tooling.
Tooling
Mold design and CNC-machined tooling developed to the agreed design and manufacturing requirements.
Sampling & Validation
Molded samples are produced and evaluated against dimensional, functional and assembly requirements before production approval.
Mass Production
Approved parts are manufactured with process controls maintained across repeat batches.
Inspection, Assembly & Packaging
Products are inspected, assembled and packaged to the agreed requirements before shipment.
COMMON PROBLEMS WE SOLVE
Where Product Teams Get Stuck
Most of our development projects start with one of these situations.
Current sample fails
Send the current part and the failure mode — we review geometry, material and process.
Existing supplier cannot handle multi-material structure
Share the substrate and silicone geometry — we review bonding and manufacturing route.
Need a new mold
Share your drawing and quantities — we review tooling requirements and design.
Need faster prototype
Share your target and timeline — we review the fastest feasible route.
Need cost optimization
Share the current cost structure — we review material and process alternatives.
Need silicone + plastic / metal / textile
Share the substrate and silicone geometry — we review bonding and assembly.
Need better consistency
Share the current variation — we review process controls and inspection criteria.
DFM TOPICS
What We Review Before Tooling
Before any steel is cut, the DFM review covers: parting line and draft angles; wall thickness and undercuts; bond area and shut-off design for overmolding; material and hardness selection; tolerance expectations and tolerance stack-up; venting, flash control and filling; and the inspectable dimensions that will define acceptance.
ENGINEERING TOPICS
Engineering Topics We Handle
Recurring engineering topics in custom silicone projects - each links to the capability or product page where we cover it in detail.
Waterproof connector overmolding
Improving mold shut-offs, insert positioning and process control to keep silicone off electrical contact areas.
LSR overmolding for electronics
Managing support, positioning, flow and molding pressure around flexible electronic circuits.
Custom silicone keypad design
Balancing geometry, hardness and molding consistency for better tactile performance.
