SILICONE EXPERTISE FOR PROTOTYPING AND SMALL-SERIES PRODUCTION (1 TO 100 UNITS)
Solvateq works with companies that require reliable silicone solutions, when part design and architecture directly determine performance under real operating conditions.
Our expertise focuses on the design and manufacture of silicone molds and parts for technical, industrial, and food-grade applications, when standard solutions no longer meet requirements related to use, precision, or volume.
Based in Switzerland, Solvateq operates throughout Romandy and across Switzerland on prototyping and small-series projects, with clearly defined technical scopes and deliverables.
A CLEAR SPECIALIZATION
Rather than multiplying processes and materials, Solvateq has deliberately chosen a focused expertise in silicone.
This specialization ensures stronger control over material properties, usage constraints, and quality requirements specific to flexible components, particularly during the prototyping and small-series phases.
OUR SILICONE OFFERS
FUNCTIONAL SILICONE PROTOTYPE
This offer is suitable if:
you need to validate a real function (cleaning, contact, sealing, damping, ergonomics)
injection molding or large-scale production is not relevant at this stage
you require a prototype that can be tested under real operating conditions
What is included:
analysis of functional requirements and real use conditions
definition of the appropriate silicone solution
part design (architecture, thickness distribution, functional areas)
manufacture of a functional silicone prototype
technical recommendations for the next project phases
This offer does not include:
exploratory R&D without a clear functional objective
large-scale industrialization
certified medical devices
👉 Ideal for making a technical decision quickly.
SMALL-SERIES SILICONE PRODUCTION (1 TO 100 UNITS)
This offer is suitable if:
your prototype has been validated
you need to produce a limited quantity of reliable parts
repeatability and stable behavior are critical
What is included:
adaptation or finalization of the design
design and manufacture of the silicone mold
production of a small series of 1 to 100 units
visual and functional inspection
parts ready for integration or real-condition testing
This offer does not include:
mass production
heavy automation
volumes exceeding 100 units
👉 Designed to test a product, process, or market without heavy industrial investment.
TURNKEY SILICONE SOLUTION
This offer is suitable if:
your project involves multiple technical constraints
design decisions strongly impact final behavior
you require a single technical point of contact from definition to delivery
What is included:
technical scoping of requirements
design trade-offs based on real use conditions
part and mold design
manufacture of the prototype and/or small series
functional validation based on defined criteria
This offer does not include:
projects without a defined scope
fundamental R&D
large-scale industrialization
👉 Intended for projects where design makes the difference.
WHAT WE DO - AND WHAT WE DON’T DO
To guarantee a high level of quality and coherence, Solvateq focuses on clearly defined project types.
WE WORK ON:
- functional silicone prototypes
- prototyping and small-series production (1 to 100 units)
- silicone molds for internal production
- projects requiring flexibility, responsiveness, and technical control
WE ARE NOT POSITIONED FOR:
- mass production
- heavy industrial tooling
- multi-material processes outside silicone
HOW WE WORK
We proceed step by step to ensure functional silicone parts adapted to real use conditions.
Once requirements are validated, we define the material solution, design the mold, and manufacture the parts for product validation, pre-series, and small-series production.
Services start from CHF 1,440, depending on project complexity and objectives.
1. NEEDS ANALYSIS
Understanding real-world use, technical constraints, and project objectives.
2. DEFINITION OF THE SILICONE SOLUTION
Selection of the silicone type, design of the geometry, and definition of the expected performance level.
3. DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING
Creation of models, mold manufacturing, and production of the first parts.
4. VALIDATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
Functional testing, adjustments if necessary, and preparation for production.
