Plastic materials play a fundamental role in modern engineering and manufacturing industries. From mechanical components and piping systems to electrical insulation and structural panels, plastics provide lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective alternatives to traditional materials such as steel and aluminum.
In engineering applications, plastics are generally classified into thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics, each offering distinct mechanical, thermal, and processing characteristics. Understanding properties such as density, shrinkage rate, working temperature, and chemical resistance is essential for proper material selection and industrial performance.
CAD Matters provides structured guidance on engineering plastics including ABS, Polypropylene (PP), HDPE, Polystyrene (PS), EPS, Bakelite, Melamine, and Rubber—explaining their properties, applications, and manufacturing considerations.
