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 |
