Replacing Metal With Polymers
In Portfolio by AZOTH3D
Not every application requires a machined metal part. Often we use metal because it is available or we need wear resistance. In this application, Azoth replaced aluminum grippers with plastic and designed the gripper to use dowel pins in the wear points. This allows the parts to be printed on demand and gives the engineer flexibility in future designs without obsoleting inventory. In addition, the carrying cost of inventory was decreased and the gripper cost was 30% of the original cost.Not every application requires a machined metal part.
