Silicone Parts Manufacturing
At Ineo, we produce short runs and one-off pieces of highly versatile, heat-resistant silicone. Our solutions are specifically designed for the industrial, medical, and food sectors, guaranteeing strict compliance with FDA regulations.
Silicone parts
Prototypes and short series of silicone parts are especially useful in a wide variety of industrial applications.
These parts allow you to validate the design, functionality and applications to ensure that the pieces will meet the purpose for which they were created.
The pieces have a long service life with high resistance to compression deformation, have excellent mechanical properties and are suitable for food and sanitary use in compliance with FDA regulations ("Food and Drug Administration, USA").
At Ineo, we integrate these advanced properties into every short run and one-off project, ensuring a smooth transition from prototype validation to final implementation. We enable your company to obtain technical silicone components with maximum reliability, optimizing turnaround times and guaranteeing regulatory compliance in the most demanding industrial environments.
Do you need to validate a silicone design with FDA certification? Are you unsure whether a short run or a one-off piece is the most cost-effective solution for your project?

Parts made of silicone
Depending on the geometry and the design of the piece, we manufacture the molds and tools necessary for the production of silicone parts. Additive manufacturing technologies (3D printing) and our production processes allow us to reduce cost and delivery times.
Biocompatibility
Silicone is tasteless, odourless and does not develop bacteria, nor is it corrosive to other materials
Chemical resistance
Electrical properties
Unlike other materials, it maintains the properties at extreme temperatures and is insulating
Mechanical properties
Maintains traction and elongation values after long exposures to extreme temperatures
Advantages of parts made of silicone
- Excellent dimensional stability
- Suitable for food and medicinal products (FDA)
- It does not pollute
- It is not toxic
- Long useful life
- Not compatible with bacterial growth
Aspects to consider
- Contaminant sensitive
- Hydrogen release (if emptying is done immediately)
We can manufacture your rapid prototypes, low volume manufacturing and final parts of silicone.

Delivery Times in Spain:
Silicone parts can be manufactured using different processes such as vacuum casting, compression molding, or injection molding. The type of silicone (technical, medical, food-grade, high-temperature, etc.) and the selected process directly influence delivery time.
Key factors affecting lead time for silicone parts:
- Manufacturing process: vacuum casting, compression molding, or injection molding
- Type of silicone: standard, medical grade, food grade, high temperature, etc.
- Need to produce molds or tooling
- Design complexity and tolerances
- Quantity of parts required
- Validation or functional testing requirements
- Additional finishes or treatments (cutting, assembly, sterilization)
Prototypes or small series manufactured through vacuum casting can be delivered within 5 to 10 business days if the master mold is available or if an approved design is provided.
For production using compression molding or injection molding that requires new tooling, lead times are typically 4 to 6 weeks, including mold design and fabrication. Once validated, part production can be completed within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the required volume.
If parts require functional validation, technical documentation, or certifications (e.g., biocompatibility or FDA compliance), additional time must be considered for these steps.
We offer options to shorten delivery times depending on the technology used, material availability, and workload. A more accurate estimate can be provided after reviewing the 3D files and technical requirements.
Deliveries to Canary Islands, Balearics, Ceuta & Melilla:
Shipments to these regions may require 1-5 additional business days due to logistics and (for Canary Islands) customs processing.
International Deliveries:
Orders outside Spain require extended lead times. Additional delivery time varies by destination country and local logistics/customs factors.
For precise international delivery estimates, contact our customer service team.
