Quotation logic
Custom silicone parts are engineered to your drawing, material specification, tolerance band, tooling route and quantity. There is no fixed price list because every project has a different cost equation.
Why No Fixed Catalog Price
Custom silicone parts are engineered to your drawing, material specification, tolerance band, tooling route and quantity. There is no fixed price list because every project has a different cost equation. Forvard Tech provides a project-specific quotation based on drawing and application review.
Main Cost Drivers
| Factor | How It Affects Cost |
|---|---|
| Material family | Standard silicone, LSR, fluorosilicone, conductive or thermal materials have different base costs. |
| Hardness & color | Custom Shore A range or pigment affects formulation and validation work. |
| Geometry complexity | Simple seal vs. multi-cavity overmolded part requires different tooling routes. |
| Tolerance requirements | Tighter tolerance means more process control, higher scrap risk and higher cost. |
| Tooling route | Compression mold vs. injection vs. extrusion vs. die-cut changes up-front and per-piece cost. |
| Production quantity | Higher volume can reduce per-piece cost; MOQ varies by process. |
| Testing requirements | In-house QC vs. third-party lab work changes cost and timing. |
| Documentation | COC only vs. full batch COA adds different documentation labor. |
| Shipping & destination | FOB vs. DDP, destination tariffs and freight affect final landed cost. |
