When you utilize equipment that performs precise functions or are designing a brand new machine with exacting requirements, finding the right material is challenging. You need a substance that is malleable enough to be shaped into a niche-specific form without long-term functionality degradation. Rimnetics is capable of injection molding complex parts with varying wall thicknesses. Discover what this looks like below.
Maximum Product Design Flexibility
As a product designer, you may be used to the common restriction of designing a plastic part with a uniform nominal wall thickness, reinforcement ribs at some percentage of that thickness, and bosses cored out to the bottom. Well, imagine the freedom of design at your disposal if you no longer had to live with these restrictions.
Imagine how much simpler the part design process becomes—how many corners, nooks, and crannies in the geometry can be filled in! By choosing Rimnetics to injection mold your complex parts with varying wall thicknesses, you can achieve tool-ready designs faster, which immediately translates to manufacturing timelines, too.
A Material That Offers Superior Performance
All of the above is possible with polyurethane structural foam—a solid skin, foamed core sandwich structure that allows you to vary the wall thickness within the same part. Not only does this approach result in the advantages mentioned above, but it does so in a much more rigid and self-supporting design. Polyurethane foam offers users strength and functional capacity that are similar to steel and metal without the weight, maintenance requirements, and costs associated with other materials.
