Replace Metal Parts with High-Performing Plastics.
Metal parts are often heavy, expensive, and difficult to produce in small batches. But with an optimal design, you can replace metal parts with high-performing plastics that are lighter, lower cost, and can be made on demand.
These UL94-V2-rated, carbon fibre-reinforced nylon clamps used in the electrical equipment manufacturing industry are a perfect example of how you can get 40% lighter, 10% cheaper parts on demand.
At 3verteD, we specialize in designing and manufacturing engineering-grade parts for a wide range of applications. We use a variety of materials, including polycarbonate, PP, and other advanced polymers, to create parts that are strong, lightweight, and durable.
There are many benefits to replacing metal parts with high-performing plastics, including:
⚖️ Weight reduction: Plastic parts are significantly lighter than metal parts, which can improve fuel efficiency and performance in vehicles and other applications.
💰 Cost reduction: Plastic parts are often cheaper to produce than metal parts, especially in small batches.
🛡️ Corrosion resistance: Plastic parts are not susceptible to corrosion, which can extend their lifespan and reduce maintenance costs.
📐 Design flexibility: With 3D printing, complex geometries that are difficult or impossible to produce alternatively are manufactured with ease.
⚡ Batches Made on Demand: We produce batches of plastic parts on demand, which means you get the parts you need when you need them. This can help to reduce inventory costs and make design changes possible between production runs.
