Manufacturing Process

Rapid Seal allows us to quickly machine prototype parts for our customers without the costly tooling associated with moulded prototypes. During the development stage of new components, often multiple design revisions are required. Customers can gain access to our experienced engineering, drafting, and machining teams for additional design support.

Precision Machining

Rapid Seal employs a diverse range of cutting-edge machining equipment. We can machine profiles with an ID as small as ¼ˮ (6 mm) to an OD as large as 29″ (737 mm). We can maintain tight precision on elastomeric and thermoplastic machined components. Our machined elastomers are available in 70 to 95 Shore A durometer. Our tolerance capabilities vary depending on the parts’ dimensions.

Rapid Seals Profiles

Customers have access to over 150 pre-programmed standard Rapid Seal profiles. We can also work with customers to modify standard profile designs to optimize seal performance.
