Optimize Your Parts with Metal to Plastic Replacement
Author Insights from our Engineers at Bamberger Amco Polymers
Bamberger Amco Polymers is in the business of making better and more efficient products by creating plastic pieces that have the strength and resilience to compete with metal.
Why Consider Metal to Plastic Replacement?
As you may be aware, metals and plastics behave differently. A thicker metal usually implies the product has more durability. However, with plastic, it is possible to optimize a design to maintain a parts’ integrity using thinner wall sections.
The durability of plastic can also mean different things; it can come from strength or elasticity. For example, rubber bands are strong and flexible, but stiffer plastics can also be strong.
