From Metal to Plastic: Innovation That Creates Value

Metal Replacement is a design approach that enables metal components to be replaced with solutions made from engineering plastics, while maintaining high mechanical and functional performance.

Thanks to Ometec’s expertise in the design and molding of thermoplastic and thermosetting materials, it is possible to develop lighter, optimized, and more cost-effective components.

The main advantages include:

• Weight reduction of up to 70%
• Reduced production and assembly costs
• Integration of multiple components into a single part
• Elimination of secondary machining operations
• Greater resistance to corrosion and chemical agents
• Natural electrical insulation
• Greater design freedom and design optimization
• Reduced environmental impact

Every project starts with a technical analysis to identify the most effective solution based on the required performance.
