Although each process has differences, plastic machining, 3D printing, and injection molding, overlap in their capabilities.
PPS machining offers products with the broadest resistance to chemicals and water based elements, more than any other high-performance thermoplastic and metal. It is also more lightweight than metal.
3D printing is limited to using only plastics and isn’t as technologically advanced due to making it more accessible to DIY users.
Injection molding is a fully automated manufacturing process that commonly involves thermoplastic polymers, but it can be used with a variety of other materials, including metals. This process permits very high production rates and intricate part fabrication.
