Materials advice

Today's rubber is a complex compound that can be tailored to specific applications. This increasing variety makes it easy to see why engineers might need help with material choice. For example, a change of material can enhance a seal designed to prevent dirt and fluid contamination of an electronics unit into a shield against electro-magnetic interference as well. Whether it's a simple o-ring or a complex moulding, talking to DP Seals will ensure you make the right material selection.

CAD/CAM integration

DP Seals offers a high-efficiency route from your engineer's desktop through to our in-house tool room. We continually invest in new software to simplify interfacing with our clients' design teams and their CAD processes. We can take files from Pro/E, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, etc. State-of-the-art CAD and CAM software enables us to view and manipulate 3D solid models and identify the most effective tool structures. Our direct tool room link ensures prototype development in optimum time without compromising precision or quality.

Skype video enables us to hold 'face-to-face' project meetings across the country and around the world whilst reducing our carbon footprint (Skype status: ).

Prototype tooling

Tooling requires more than an investment in the latest equipment. It requires knowing how best to section a tool to simplify manufacture, how materials behave under pressure to ensure sufficient feed-through with minimal wastage and flash. We understand tooling: DP Seals has some 30 years experience in designing custom rubber moulding tools, including in-tool rubber to metal bonding to ensure a highly reliable end product.

Quality control

Our TQM approach to quality control is second to none: DP Seals was one of the first custom rubber moulding companies in the UK to achieve ISO 9001 accreditation. This was soon followed by ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001. In 2009 we added top aerospace manufacturing accreditation AS 9100, and in 2010 BAE Systems approval to the list.

These standards are strictly enforced and monitored by our dedicated quality team.
