Where Could I Find An Manufacturer To Produce A Prototype Made Of Rubber?
I searched endlessly on the internet for a manufacturer who specializes in rubber materials. I could not find no manufacturer here in the Chicagoland area. Some of the them here specializes in arcylic, steel and other solid materials. I need rubber material because it is durable, it bends and stretches. The reason why I am searching for a rubber manfacturer is to create and mold my prototype of a child safety device that I have recently received a patent for. The child safety device has to be flexiable and has alittle stretch to be applied around cabinet handles. Please help!

look for a company that does injection molding or a plastics manufacturer
example the rubber on a tooth brush is injection molding

To do a rubber prototype, you'd need a quick mold made. This can get expensive because aluminum would need to be machined to create the shape of the safety device. If you want a proof of concept, there are SLA materials that can flex like rubber. If you need further information, contact the source below.
