From traditional plastic parts to carbon-infused assemblies capable of replacing metal components with super-strong thermoplastics, Reliant’s cutting-edge processes and advanced scientific knowledge have made us a trusted name in aerospace engineering. These super-strong thermoplastics provide:

High Durability

With high durability, you can expect both increased natural lifespans as well as reduced wear from the elements or consistent use.

Versatility

Having a versatile production method means meeting strict legal requirements and industry standards for any component or assembly.

Lightweight components

Our super-strong thermoplastics not only meet durability requirements, but also reduce the weight by up to 50%.

Rapid prototyping

With our assistance, you can expect rapid prototyping to help you quickly scale your ideas into full production.

Good scalability

Our rapid prototyping, coupled with the consistency of our process, allows us to scale our production to meet requirements for smaller and larger projects.

Metal-to-Plastic Conversion

Our metal-to-plastic mold conversion process allows us to produce the necessary parts while meeting strict requirements such as high reliability and affordability. It also helps offset costs by reducing manufacturing costs and lowering the overall aircraft weight. Our injection molding process is simple:
  • Tell us what you need. Our process always starts with a discussion regarding your requirements. We will note down all the important bits of information for the components you want, such as material preference, unique specifications, quantity, manufacturing intervals, and whether you need single parts or a range of components that make up entire assemblies.

  • Planning. After our discussion, we start planning to find the most optimal way of producing your components. Our existing molds and tools might require slight alterations to better fit your requirements, and during this part of the process, we figure all of that out so that when production needs to start, we iterate quickly.

  • Prototyping. After planning comes the first tangible results. We prototype your components or assemblies and do thorough tests and inspections to ensure they meet all your requirements for strength, ease of use, fitting precision if it’s part of assemblies, and more.

  • Production. Once we’ve finished prototyping and both you and our engineers are happy with the results, we are ready to begin full production. You can expect quick turnaround times and highly reliable components during this time.

Get Assistance from Reliant Plastics

The incredible advances in metal-to-plastic mold conversion technology over the last few years have empowered us to create components that use specialized materials engineered specifically for aerospace applications. Our metal-to-plastic parts have the same — or better — tensile strength as their metal predecessors, lower manufacturing costs, greatly reduced weight, much lower packaging and shipping costs and greater design flexibility. Aerospace injection molding produces less waste and allows for improved regulatory compliance.

This is just one more way Reliant Worldwide Plastics continually strives to reduce the airlines’ cost structure through redesigning and converting existing metal parts into superior plastic components. When you add up the lower manufacturing costs, reduced waste and a stable market for material costs, placing your confidence in Reliant’s experience and capabilities in metal-to-plastic mold conversion ensures that even the most complex aerospace projects will exceed your expectations.
