Materials We Work With

We can mill many types of rubber:

Rubber Type

Best For

Special Features

Silicone

Medical devices

Safe for body contact, handles high and low temps

EPDM

Outdoor parts

Stands up to weather and UV rays

Nitrile

Car parts

Resists oil and fuel, good for gaskets

Neoprene

Marine products

Works well in saltwater

Viton®

Industrial seals

Handles very high heat and harsh chemicals

We can work with soft rubber (Shore A 30) all the way to hard rubber (Shore A 90), depending on what you need.

Our Machines and Setup

At Istar Machining, we use special equipment for rubber:

  • 3-axis and 5-axis CNC mills for simple to complex parts
  • Vacuum fixtures to hold soft rubber still during cutting
  • HEPA dust control systems to keep rubber dust contained
  • Specialized cutting tools that won’t tear the rubber

Our prototype CNC milling setup lets us make test parts quickly so you can try before ordering more.

Common Rubber Parts We Make

We create many different rubber items:

  • Gaskets and seals for keeping liquids and air out
  • Vibration dampers that reduce noise and shaking
  • Rubber bushings for car and machine parts
  • Protective boots that keep dirt out of moving parts
  • Custom grips for tools and equipment
  • Specialized pads for unique applications

Industries We Serve

Our rubber CNC milling helps many different businesses:

Medical Industry

We make FDA-compliant silicone parts for medical tools and equipment. These parts are safe for use in healthcare and meet strict rules. Our medical CNC machining team understands the special needs of medical products.

Automotive Parts

We create rubber seals and dampers for cars and trucks that can handle engine heat and oils. These parts help cars run quieter and last longer.

Marine Applications

Our saltwater-resistant neoprene seals work great on boats and ships. They keep water out and stand up to harsh ocean conditions.

Consumer Electronics

We make waterproof gaskets for phones, watches, and other devices that need to keep water out while still looking good.

Industrial Machinery

Our heavy-duty rubber parts like wear pads and dampers help big machines run better and last longer.

Our Process

Here’s how we make your rubber parts:

  1. Send us your design – Upload your CAD file or work with our team to create one
  2. Pick your material – We’ll help you choose the right rubber for your needs
  3. Machining – We carefully mill your parts using our special rubber cutting methods
  4. Quality check – We measure and test your parts to make sure they’re perfect
  5. Delivery – We ship your finished parts to you quickly and safely

Technical Details

For those who want the specifics:

  • Max part size: 24″ x 16″ x 12″
  • Material thickness: From 0.1″ to 6″ thick
  • File types we accept: STEP, IGES, SolidWorks, AutoCAD
  • Typical tolerance: ±0.005″ (we can do better for critical dimensions)
  • Surface finish: Smooth, textured, or custom as needed

Benefits of CNC Milling vs. Molding for Rubber

For many projects, CNC milling is better than traditional rubber molding:

  • No expensive molds needed
  • Faster delivery – days instead of weeks
  • Easy design changes without remaking molds
  • Perfect for small batches (1-500 pieces)
  • Complex shapes possible that molding can’t do

Real-World Examples

Here are some ways our customers use our rubber CNC milling service:

  • A medical device maker needed custom silicone seals for a new surgical tool. We delivered 50 parts in 3 days for their testing.
  • An aerospace company required special EPDM seals that could handle extreme temperatures. Our rubber CNC machining provided parts that passed their strict tests.
  • A boat manufacturer needed custom neoprene gaskets for a new hatch design. We milled them from marine-grade rubber that resists saltwater.
  • An electronics designer needed tiny silicone seals for a waterproof smartwatch. Our precision milling created the exact parts they needed.
