Metal-to-Plastic Conversion Benefits for Automotive Engineers
For automotive engineers looking to reduce vehicle weight, metal-to-plastic conversion is a win-win. At the highest level, injection plastic molds are capable of producing multiples of millions of parts required for automotive programs with ease. Typically, a single tool can support a program for its entire life-cycle, meaning you only must go through the cost and design of tooling just once.

Benefits of Replacing Metal Parts with Plastic
For automotive engineers looking to reduce vehicle weight, metal-to-plastic conversion is a win-win. At the highest level, injection plastic molds are capable of producing multiples of millions of parts required for automotive programs with ease. Typically, a single tool can support a program for its entire life-cycle, meaning you only must go through the cost and design of tooling just once.
In traditional metal fabrication, you have stamping and die casting, both of which require tool refurbishment, at what can amount to a very significant cost. Although injection mold tooling can be relatively expensive, it is not more expensive than die cast tools and/or stamping tools.
Typically, injection molds will last many times longer than metal tooling. Injection mold tooling are also more flexible than other types of tools, allowing you to incorporate many types of features into a part so that no secondary machining, coating and/or forming is required after the molding operation. And depending on the type of plastic material you select; you can realize excellent strength to weight properties.
