What performance factors drive your preference for aluminum or steel in part design?
Engineered polymers and specialty composites are gaining popularity because they can achieve metal-like performance while providing design flexibility through injection molding.
The outstanding performance-to-weight ratio combined with the ease of injection molding, fewer secondary processing steps, and complete design freedom can aid automotive engineers in many applications.

And, you can incorporate more functionality into tighter spaces through the increased design freedom that advanced polymers provide.
And because these materials are injection moldable, you have more freedom to design smaller, more compact housings that fit more electronics without sacrificing performance.
Overheating – Oftentimes, designers choose aluminum for its excellent thermal conductivity properties.
