Onshoring

Simplify your supply chain with a domestic manufacturing partner that can produce functional, end-use parts within days and provide a bridge to production.

Materials & surface finishes for consumer electronics parts

Our vetted network of specialized manufacturing partners gives us access to a broad range of materials and surface finishing options for prototyping through to full-scale production.

ABS.

This reliable thermoplastic is widely used in industries like consumer electronics. It brings general-purpose performance for parts like electronics enclosures and handheld devices, and is also relatively inexpensive.

Aluminum

This material can be machined or formed through sheet metal fabrication to create housings, brackets, or other metal parts that need high strength and low weight are required.

Elastomers.

Available in both 3D printing and injection molding, choose from several elastomeric materials for parts that need impact resistance or flexibility. Overmolding is also available for components and products with ergonomic grips, buttons, or handles.

Polycarbonate.

This strong and extremely impact resistant thermoplastic has a low shrink and good dimensional stability. It’s a transparent plastic that is available in optically clear grades, which works well for transparent covers and housings.
