Materials / Finishes

A full range of materials and finishes is available to meet nearly any customer requirement. Quality continues throughout the finishing process.

Manufacturing Material Types	Types	Pros	Cons
Polymers are a type of natural or synthetic substance made up of very large molecules that are multiples of smaller chemical units known as monomers.	Polyethylene Nylon Teflon Cellulose Rubber	Malleable Inexpensive Simple to work with Low Melting Point Embed Color Easy Faster to Production Better at Chemical Resistance Lighter Dent Resistance	Lower-quality results Less durability Limited heat capacity Wear Resistance Possible degradation No UV-inhibitor
Metals are materials that have a lustrous appearance when freshly produced, polished, or shattered, and carry electricity and heat reasonably well. Metals are either malleable or ductile (they may be hammered into thin sheets) (can be drawn into wires).	Steel Iron (Wrought or Cast) Aluminum Magnesium Copper Brass Bronze Zinc Titanium Tungsten Nickel Cobalt	Durable High-quality results Heat and cold resistant Handle Temperatures better Higher tensile strength	Can be challenging to work with Higher Overall Costs Difficult to source Tooling Requirements Post Fabrication Processes Heavier
