Engineering Overview

Plastics are widely used during engineering processes. 

In addition to CNC milling and turning, plastics can be engineered to make prototypes which are quick to produce and help make qualitative production and marketing decisions.

Thermoplastics can equal or surpass wood, and metals in terms of their weight (lighter) and strength (stronger), as well as generally being more malleable to fabricate into complicated shapes.

Engineering plastics include Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), which due to its combined strength and rigidity made it ideal for car components such as dashboards and dashboard trims.

Each engineering plastic has its own unique set of characteristics and properties that make it the material of choice for that specific application. Some of their advantages include heat resistance, mechanical strength, chemical stability and rigidity.
