Robotics & AI HardwareEMI/RFI Shielding & ESD Plastics: Conductive Injection MoldingPlastic is transparent to electromagnetic radiation. To shield electronics or dissipate static in a molded part, the resin has to be made conductive — with the right filler and the…
Robotics & AI HardwareHigh-Precision Connector Molding for AI HardwareAI compute runs on high-speed connectors. Their insulators are injection molded in LCP at tolerances measured in microns, because at 224 Gb/s the plastic itself shapes the signal.This guide covers the resin…
Robotics & AI HardwareData Center Plastic Parts: Chassis, Cooling & Cable ManagementAI demand is pulling plastic into the server rack. A molded part carries airflow geometry, mounting features, and clips in one piece — an assembly of sheet metal cannot.This…
Robotics & AI HardwareRobot Plastic Material Selection GuideMost robot part failures trace back to the wrong resin, not bad molding. Pick by continuous temperature, load, moisture, and cost — in that order — and the part lasts.This guide gives a…
Robotics & AI HardwareInsert Molding for Robotics: Metal Where You Need It, Plastic Everywhere ElseInsert molding places a metal part into the mold, then encapsulates it in plastic in one shot. The robot part comes out with metal threads, bearings,…

Robotics & AI HardwareRobot Plastic Gears in POM: Material, Design & Molding GuidePOM (acetal, sold as Delrin) is the default plastic for robot gears. It runs quiet, needs no grease, and molds at fleet volume for a fraction of a…
New product development, explained for buyersThe short answerA new plastic part goes through nine steps before it reaches your warehouse. Most projects take 4 to 8 months, shipping included. You approve five checkpoints along the way. The mold is your…
Robotics & AI Hardware2K & LSR Molding for Robot Hands & GrippersA robot hand needs a hard skeleton and a soft grip. Multi-component molding builds both into one part — rigid finger structure, soft tactile pad, molded together in a…
