Metal Replacement with Polymer Parts

At JSP-HAPP, we specialise in the automated production of high-quality polymer parts that serve as alternatives to metal and traditional material components. Our advanced polymer solutions provide a wide range of benefits, offering an innovative approach to design and manufacturing. By replacing metal parts with engineered polymers, we help our customers achieve significant advantages in cost savings, performance, and sustainability.

Benefits of Metal Replacement

1. Weight and Noise Reduction

Replacing metal with plastic components significantly reduces the weight of products, leading to improved efficiency and lower transportation costs. Plastic components also tend to reduce noise when used as moving parts. This is particularly beneficial in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics, where every gram and decibel counts.

2. Corrosion / Abrasion Resistance and Self-Lubrication

Plastics are inherently resistant to corrosion, unlike metals which can rust and degrade over time. Many engineered polymers also provide self-lubrication properties. This property extends the lifespan of components and reduces maintenance costs, making plastic parts an ideal choice for harsh and mechanically demanding environments.

3. Cost Efficiency

Manufacturing plastic parts typically involves lower material and production costs compared to metals. Injection molding can produce complex shapes using multiple materials in a single step, reducing the need for additional machining and assembly.

4. Design Flexibility

Plastic materials offer unparalleled flexibility in design. They can be molded into complex shapes and integrated with multiple functions, such as built-in hinges or snaps, which are challenging to achieve with metal. This design versatility allows for more innovative product solutions.

5. Thermal and Electrical Insulation

Many plastic materials provide excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties. This makes them suitable for applications where insulating properties are crucial, such as in electrical housings and components.
