<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
Choosing the right material can make a big difference in your projects β it affects strength, durability, precision, cost, and more. Hereβs a quick guide:
π Harsh operating conditions
Use metal when your part faces heavy loads, wear, or high temperatures.
π Tighter tolerances required
Metal maintains precision better, especially for mate or high-precision components.
π Rapid, low-cost prototyping
Plastics like ABS, Nylon, or POM are ideal for functional prototypes that need to be fast and affordable.
π Insulation or conductivity needs
Choose plastic for insulation or metal for conductivity.
