A machined brass component, re-engineered in polymer
We transformed a traditionally machined brass component into a high-strength polymer equivalent. The redesign preserved critical running tolerances and mechanical performance while eliminating corrosion and significantly reducing manufacturing complexity and cost.
A bronze wear pad, re-engineered in polymer
We replaced a bronze wear pad with a precision-moulded engineering polymer equivalent, selected for low friction and high abrasion resistance. The polymer pad runs without lubrication, will not corrode, and reduces noise and mating-surface wear while holding the original fit and load capacity.
A high-volume component, converted from machined brass
We converted a high-volume component from machined brass to a precision-moulded engineering polymer, delivering substantial material and manufacturing savings without compromising functional performance. Advanced tooling and process improvements then reduced cycle time, scrap and secondary operations.
An elastomer component, upgraded to engineering polymer
We re-engineered a moulded elastomer component in a high-performance engineering polymer. The material upgrade resists compression set and abrasion, and maintains critical performance characteristics over prolonged service.
A fabricated metal plate, re-engineered in polymer
A machined metal mounting plate was redesigned as a single moulded polymer part, with the bores and central aperture formed in the tool rather than cut afterwards. The polymer version removes secondary machining and deburring, cannot corrode, insulates electrically and damps vibration — while holding the original mounting geometry.

Most of our conversion work stays
between us and our customers.
These five are a small sample. Many more components have been converted from metal and rubber to engineering polymer over the past two decades, but the drawings, part names and savings sit under supply agreements and confidentiality terms with the customers who own them — so they are not published here.
If you have a component in mind, we are glad to talk through comparable work in confidence, and to put an agreement in place before any drawings change hands.
