Manufacturing Materials

ABS

ABS is an amorphous thermoplastic that balances impact strength, stiffness and a smooth appearance for molded housings and machined prototypes.

Alloy Steel

Alloy steels provide heat-treatable strength for demanding mechanical parts.

Bakelite

Phenolic is a thermoset material for rigid electrical and mechanical components.

Brass

Free-cutting brass is suited to precise, high-volume turned parts.

Bronze

Bearing bronze is used for machined bushings and sliding components.

Carbon Steel

Carbon steels offer economical strength for machined mechanical parts.

Copper

Copper is used for electrically and thermally conductive components.

Epoxy

Thermosetting resin for strong parts exposed to chemicals and heat.

HDPE

High-density polyethylene is a semi-crystalline plastic for corrosion-resistant, low-friction parts.

HIPS

Impact-resistant thermoplastic used for packaging and appliance housings.

LCP

Liquid crystal polymer flows into very thin molded sections and is used for precise, heat-resistant electronic components.
