Material choice for electronic components
Material choice will determine the aesthetics and functional properties of your electronic component or device. There are many different types of thermoplastic material available and perfectly suited to the plastic injection moulding process. Our technical team will discuss the properties you will need such as antistatic or conductive material and will advise you on the different options available and the best solution for your project.
"Our relationship with OGM stretches back almost 30 years to when OGM installed its first ARBURG injection moulding machine. The combination of a modular build and specific options to meet ongoing technical requirements allows OGM to retain flexibility in production planning. ARBURG machines contribute to the production of high precision moulded parts of exceptional quality for OGM’s chosen markets."
