Ask the use case before naming a resin
Before naming ABS, PC, PP, PA or POM, clarify where the part is used, what load it carries, whether appearance matters, whether flame retardancy is required, and the target quantity.
Understand common material directions
ABS is often used for appearance and general housings. PC focuses on impact and heat resistance. PP is useful for toughness, light weight and chemical resistance. PA is common for loaded and wear areas but moisture affects size. POM is often used for low-friction mechanisms.
Material affects the mold
Shrinkage, flow, mold temperature, gate design, venting, cooling and ejection are all affected by the resin. A material name alone is not enough for tooling decisions.
How we work with customers
Send drawings, samples or a use scenario. We first review structure and process risk, then suggest material direction, prototyping path and tooling concerns.
