Automotive Parts
The Challenge
Paint adds a great surface finish to automobile parts, but painting
also adds cost, time, and other logistics requirements.

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2025-05/Advanced Composites Utility Poles Product Overview.pdf
Compared to traditional pole materials, fiber
reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are
more durable, require less maintenance, and
provide a longer service life.
Customized and Consistent Material
Manufactured in a continuous pultrusion process,
GridCore poles are engineered for consistent
strength and uniform appearance and are not
subject to warping, shrinkage, or splintering.
FRP data are from tests--nominal fiber stress is at 5% LEL;
modulus of elasticity is at mean.

While
commodity plastics can typically maintain performance only up to 100°C, and
engineering plastics do the same up to 120°C, a high-performance thermoplastic
can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C while also maintaining low
temperature impact.
The metal used for FFF dies depends on the polymer:
unfilled materials can use softer brass dies, while fiber-reinforced materials
need harder steel to prevent premature wear.
Also, PEEK powders—
typically reinforced with carbon—can be used in SLS.
