Our solutions increase value and reduce downtime for our customers. We have worked with all major aerospace OEM and Tier 1 suppliers in the commercial and defense industry for over 45 years, using rotational molding and additive manufacturing processes.
Engineered Resin Formulation
We are also a long-established leader in custom resin formulation for highly specialized applications. Our thermoplastics are processed in-house to ensure quality and consistency. We are able to produce custom formulations for your specific applications.
Our proprietary nylon resin, RMB 437, is qualified to multiple aerospace specifications including BMS 8-270 Type I, Class 4, Form D.
Comparison of Rotational Molded or Additive Manufactured Ducts to Composite, Aluminum, or Extruded Ducts
| Advantages of Rotomolding or Additive Manufacturing | Disadvantages of Rotomolding or Additive Manufacturing |
|---|---|
| There is a lower cost per part | Potential for conversion costs due to industry regulations |
| There is a potential for weight reduction of the part | There can be diameter to length restrictions (18” length per 1” diameter) |
| Supports complex geometries | There are temperature constraints of the material |
| Reduces part count | |
| It creates durable, fly-ready parts that withstand impact during installation and maintenance |
