Converting Parts from Metal to Thermoset
Comments Off on Converting Parts from Metal to ThermosetEngineers and product designers convert the design of existing parts and components from metals or to thermoset plastics in applications for a variety of material property advantages and benefits to the application. While metal components may require costly secondary machining operations to manufacture a part, thermosets may be molded into complex geometries and shapes. Incorporating thermoset materials into a product design may allow for consolidation of multiple parts of an assembly, as well as reduce overall weight of a product or assembly compared with metallic parts. For high-volume applications, thermosets offer a highly scalable solution to meet increasing product demand and volume requirements with low waste. (more…)
