Silicone Keymats
Silicone keymats
We develop customised silicone keymats
We develop silicone keymats with optimum feel, and if desired, including a decorative surface with high abrasion resistance and a long service life of solid (HTV) and liquid silicone (LSR or LIM).
Our silicone keymats enable closed user interfaces in 3D silicone. These are, for example, impenetrable to dust and dirt and enable durable switch units even in demanding environments.
Find out here how we support you even before your project.
Trust our years of experience in this success decisive phase!
- 1. Expert advice
Well advised right from the start!
We accompany you through all your project phases, from prototypes to series production.
Our consulting concept - 2. Feasibility studies
Analyse, identify risks, implement!
In the context of a feasibility study, we analyse different approaches for you, identify possible risks and assess the success of your project. The scope of a feasibility study will be determined by your project. - 3. Prototypes & sample construction
Quickly from the idea to series production!
Accelerate the process of your project and benefit not only from the cost and time savings but also from the early check of the product features. We create prototypes as far as possible already in the original materials in order to draw possible close-to-production conclusions.
Learn more about our Prototypes & sample construction - 4. Development & simulation
Have your project simulated to save costs and time!
Take advantage of our many years of experience to implement your idea economically & reproducibly. We use finite elements, mould flow as well as light simulations, depending on the task.
Let your projects take shape
Competent specialist advice
Our experts are there for you right from the start
You inform us about your individual requirements - we advise you and develop your individual silicone keymats together with you. Our experts assist you with their expertise and efficiently guide you through your successful project.
From the silicone part to the printed keymat
Together with you we develop your individual silicone keymat with added value for you and your customers. Take advantage of our consulting services right from the early stages of the design and concept phase, and benefit from our unwavering commitment to finding groundbreaking solutions with the knowledge of what is possible.
“We do not have standard products - only customer specific components.”
Objectives of a feasibility study:
- Bad investments can be prevented
- Identification of the best solution
- Estimation of possible risks
- Recommendation for a decision
Feasibility studies for silicone keymats
Silcos checks possible solutions for your project regarding their feasibility.
In the context of a feasibility study, we analyse different solution approaches for you, identify possible risks and assess the success of your silicone component. In doing so, we check whether the products with the desired properties can be created under the given framework with the solution approach considered.
Development of silicone mats with and without hard silicone keys
Trust in the development of your individual silicone keymat on our extensive know-how in the field of plastics and silicone. We develop customised keymats (printed or unprinted / with or without backlighting) with optimum tactility, high abrasion resistance and a long service life.
Prototypes & sample construction
The basis for efficient series production
To speed up your product development, we offer an extremely fast and efficient production of samples, models and prototypes - both in terms of functionality and appearance.
As a result, subsequent cost intensive optimisation steps are anticipated and accelerated. Using existing and new technologies, we develop products tailored to your needs. We manufacture prototypes made of liquid silicone and solid silicone.
Where others reach their limits, we move forward with new solutions.
Advantages of prototype and sample construction:
- Product properties can be checked early
- Expensive changes of series tools are eliminated
- Test samples available early
- Close to production models (visual and functional models)
- Early design review
- Cost and time savings
Development
We give your idea a shape
We orient the development specifically with the innovative ideas and wishes of our customers.
Due to our many years of industry experience and our enormous pool of knowledge in relation to various technologies, with the necessary courage and vision we can innovate your idea & make it economically and reproducibly into reality.
- Early design review
- Cost and time savings
