By Sean Fenske, Editor-in-Chief, MPO with Ray Scherer, Global Engineering Manager, Aptyx
In this Q&A Sean Fenske, Editor-in-Chief, MPO speaks with Ray Scherer, Global Engineering Manager, Aptyx.
Ray dives into the benefits, key considerations, & challenges of using filled resins. Resins can be filled with additives that alter the properties of the plastic to achieve features not typical for the raw material on its own. The result can lead to a part that’s lighter weight, smaller, less costly, or a combination of benefits.
Filled resins are also a key driver in enabling a move from metal to plastic as well as miniaturization.
