Robotics & AI HardwareRobots and AI servers run on molded plastic parts, from exterior shells to connector insulators and fan shrouds. This page collects our engineering guides for those parts, grouped by the decision each one settles. Volumes are still…
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 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 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…
