More and more companies are opting for plastic enclosures<\/strong>. Not only because of its price, but also because of its many functional advantages. Where metal is strong, plastic offers flexibility, weight gain and a wide range of applications.<\/p>\n Plastic is up to 50% lighter than metal. This makes it ideal for applications where weight is an issue, such as in mechanical engineering or electronics. Moreover, plastic is easy milling, printing or pressing<\/strong>, ensuring short production times and low post-processing.<\/p>\n Unlike metal, plastic does not rust. The material is resistant to moisture, chemicals and temperature fluctuations<\/strong>. This makes plastic enclosures last longer in demanding environments, both indoors and outdoors.<\/p>\n Plastic does not conduct electricity, making it a safe equipment<\/strong> makes for electrical and electronic applications. This prevents short circuits and increases the safety of users and devices.<\/p>\n The production of plastic parts requires less energy than metalworking. Also, raw materials are often cheaper. For serial production or complex shapes, plastic is therefore a cost-effective alternative<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Plastic offers unprecedented freedom of form. Whether it is a smooth finish, integrated hinges or a unique shape: almost anything is possible. This makes the material ideal for custom-made enclosures<\/strong> that exactly match a product's technical requirements.<\/p>\n Those who choose plastics choose innovation, sustainability and efficiency. Formit supports companies in design and production of plastic components<\/strong> tailor-made.<\/p>\n Want to know more about our techniques?
