Molded rubber is the process of placing an uncured rubber compound into the mold cavity where it is then shaped and cured into  the desired finished product, often utilizing heat and pressure.  After the product has been removed from the mold, excess material (flash) must be removed.  Depending on the compound being used, a second step in the process of  vulcanization must take place. This step is referred to as "post cure."  After post cure, parts are inspected, packaged and shipped to the customer.  This method of manufacturing allows for much more detail and customization of the  finished product, as well as tighter tolerancing.
