A Practical Guide for OEMs Evaluating Cost, Performance, and Scalability
Metal-to-plastic conversion is no longer an experimental engineering exercise. It is a proven manufacturing strategy that enables OEMs to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), improve product performance, and scale globally with consistency.
Since the introduction of engineering-grade resins and plastic materials in the 1950s, many parts previously fabricated from metal have been replaced by injection molded parts. On average, companies report an overall cost savings of 25-50% by converting to plastic parts, yet some manufacturers have resisted making the change.
This guide will help you understand the metal to plastic conversion process, its benefits, and how to partner with your injection molder to collaborate on all design for manufacturability elements.
