By manufacturing
custom molded parts, costs are reduced compared to other traditional manufacturing methods, as the product comes out of the mold with its final shape. It requires virtually no post-processing or finishing.
Typically,
polyethylene or polypropylene rods or cylinders are machined, resulting in material loss due to waste and offcuts.
If the part has a complex shape, it must be CNC-machined, with a very high hourly cost.
In the case of molded parts, the manufacturing hourly cost is very economical. Mold costs are low since they are made of
epoxy resins, and therefore the investment in the mold is quickly recovered, even when the production run is small.
Polyurethane provides thermal and acoustic insulation, has good mechanical properties, is abrasion-resistant, has dielectric properties, is suitable for the food industry, withstands occasional temperatures of 80 to 90 degrees Celsius, and in the case of elastomers, it resists all impacts.
