Lake Erie Rubber helps clients with material specifications by ensuring we use the best rubber elastomer for your application.  We also perform thorough testing and validation, to ensure that we’ll make you the best possible product, as well as design for manufacturing and product development.

We also offer 3D printed prototyping, helping customers take an initial idea and creating a 3D prototype to see and feel their design before it’s manufactured and allowing for tweaks and changes before agreeing on a final design. During this process, we help to select the best material for the application, the appropriate molding process, and the mold design. At the end, we’ve guided our customers through the entire process, from the initial idea through to a finished product. We are also able to reverse engineer existing products and develop a manufacturing plan for production.
