Feasibility & Part Analysis
We review the metal part function and decide the best plastic design approach.
Metal to Plastic Design & Development
Metal to plastic conversion helps reduce weight, prevent corrosion, and optimize manufacturing cost. We provide complete design support for part development and product development, helping convert existing metal components into production-ready plastic designs.
What We Consider
Key inputs we review during conversion to ensure performance and manufacturability.
- Load and strength requirements
- Temperature and environment conditions
- Material selection and reinforcement options
- Ribs, bosses, snap-fits, and insert needs
- Tolerances and assembly interfaces
Service Process

Redesign & Validation
Design updates with DFM inputs, sampling, and fit/function validation where required.
Advantages of Conversion
Metal to plastic conversion can reduce weight, simplify assembly, and improve corrosion resistance. With the right material and design, plastic parts can deliver reliable performance while improving manufacturability.
Typical Outcomes
Results you can expect when a component is redesigned for plastic manufacturing.
- Weight reduction and easier handling
- Corrosion-free performance for outdoor or humid use
- Part consolidation to reduce assembly time
- Improved aesthetics with controlled surface finish
