The design team had two objectives: improve vibration damping performance of the boot to deliver a better user experience, and streamline manufacturing of the part to reduce system costs.
At the time, the boot was injection molded from acrylonitrile-ethylene-styrene (AES) as a standalone part and assembled to the housing separately.
Avient’s team recommended the use of overmolding (two-shot injection molding) to integrate the boot with the saw housing, and trialed several products before customizing a grade from its portfolio.

In addition, these materials provide the design freedom and manufacturing ease of thermoplastics for use in applications such as luxury closures, caps, and boxes.
When designing with metals like aluminum, zinc, iron, steel, and other alloys, designers face various processing challenges and design constraints.
Injection-moldable Gravi-Tech can help designers achieve the evenly distributed weight, complex designs, and visual surface effects of metal without the extra costs and steps associated with die cast mold tooling or secondary assembly operations.
