Metal Replacement

Replacing metal components with plastics is today a goal for many industrial companies.

The benefits, both on economical and technical sides, are great: 

• There are no limits in the design, thanks to the major freedom compared to the mechanical processing; 

• Excellent technical performances given by the great innovations in the thermoplastic polymers; 

• Reduced weight of the articles: objects produced in plastics are less heavier than their counterparties in metal, with the result of having less shipping costs; 

• "One Shot, One Piece": optimisation of the process, the object is finished once is molded.

• Shorter lead time, thanks to the reduced number of processes. 

Thanks to 45 years of experience in high-tech sectors and a constant upgrade of CAD, CAE and CAM software, Uniplast is able to replace the current applications in metal alloys with plastic materials.

Advantageous both economically and technically, the replacement of metal components with plastics is now a reality for many industries.

Uniplast is able to advise the best application on the market and to support you in the design and selection of the most suitable material.
