Our expertise ranges from critical tolerance engineering of complex components to standard consumer commodity products.
For years, metal to plastic conversion was the norm rather than the exception. The reason for this is very simple. During the early years we were a “copy-cat” industry. Up until the 1950’s there were fewer than 20 different raw materials to choose from. Starting in the 60’s new, more requirement-specific materials, started to evolve. Some were developed for high impact qualities, some were for chemical and solvent resistance, while others were developed to be used in high heat situations. At the same time new products started to evolve that were no longer copies of other products, but were use and application specific. The first sign of this was the reel-to-reels used in the earliest mainframe computers. As desktop computers, desktop printers, and mobile phones became a reality, more and more application specific raw materials were developed.
Plastic parts designers were preoccupied with products that were designed only in plastic and new products that were designed in metal were pretty much slated to always be metal, in spite of the fact that we now have, at our disposal, an arsenal of over 25,000 plastic raw materials that will virtually fit the bill for any metal application.
