In many branches of industry, metal is regarded as the classic material. However, there is a widespread trend towards replacing metal with high-performance plastics. This practice, also known as metal substitution, opens up a wide range of benefits and opportunities for companies to exploit in the development and manufacture of components.
As a leading expert in high-performance plastics, Ensinger provides comprehensive support in material selection, plastic-compatible component design, optimum tolerance determination, and simulation. This expertise is crucial for the success of metal substitution, as the correct design and selection of materials and processes, taking into account the plastic-specific properties, influences the performance and functionality of the components.
