Hybrid Components And Electronic Case
Polymertal’s metal-plated polymers include composite structures that can be utilized as if they were metal parts, dramatically saving weight, cost and production time. These hybrid parts can effectively rise to the operating challenges of high altitudes and space.
Polymertal is working with leading companies in the Aerospace industry to test and qualify metal-plated polymer structures as building materials for future platforms.
The Ultimate Alternative To Metal Parts
Polymertal’s hybrid solutions are ideal for ammunition boxes, rugged computers, communications, and electronics enclosures as well as composite structures for manned/unmanned platforms, among many other applications, by providing:
Superb mechanical strength (as specified by the customer)
Increased stiffness
Barrier diffusion layer (from humidity, chemicals, fumes…)
ESD Prevention
The Best Of Both Worlds
Polymertal hybrid parts are a combination of polymer skeletons and external metal layers to provide the best of both worlds: the look, feel, and performance of metal with the lighter and more economical features of polymers.
Polymertal hybrid parts also offer significant advantages over today’s 3D printed metal parts:
About 70% cost reduction
Up to 60% weight reduction
Over 50% reduction in production time
No shape or size limitations
