Christopher Columbus was probably the first European to handle rubber. Rubber has been used by the Haitian for centuries. In 1819 Thomas Hancock discovered that latex rubber can be masticated‚ but unfortunately mastication deprived rubber of its elastic qualities. Charles Goodyear has discovered vulcanization in 1839‚ which solved the problem and also kept rubber products from becoming tacky. Hence the commercial uses of rubber multiplied greatly. Shortly thereafter‚ the rise of the automobile

Rubber is an elastic hydrocarbon polymer which occurs as a milky emulsion (known as latex) in the sap of a number of plants but can also be produced synthetically. The major commercial source of the latex used to create rubber is the Para rubber tree‚ Hevea brasiliensis (Euphorbiaceae). This is largely because it responds to wounding by producing more latex. Other plants containing latex include figs‚ euphorbias and the common dandelion. These have not been a major source of rubber‚ though

For the basic order‚ since the design sketches and CAD models are already created before‚ the system will send the specification of the basic order to vendors in China and India automatically. Since the moulds which are made of silicone rubber or vulcanized rubber are already produced‚ the vendors can generate the wax pieces and start the lost-wax casting process for creating the finished metal products (i.e. jewellery) directly (see Figure 3). For the tailor-made order‚ the system will send the specification
