ARPRO Moulded Parts - Moulding and Techniques

Fitted

The resilience and shape memory of ARPRO® allow for a tight "snap-fit" of separate parts.

ARPRO® EPP Parts Can Be Made to Snap-Fit

As an engineering plastic, ARPRO® can be moulded with remarkable precision. ARPRO® also provides the ability to produce parts that fit, or snap together when a functional purpose is served.

The resilience of ARPRO® allows it to compress and return to shape. This means that parts can be made that snap together under some degree of pressure, then securely lock in place, connected like three-dimensional picture puzzle pieces. The durability of ARPRO® allows this cycle to be repeated indefinitely.

Examples include automotive tool kits that function in a clamshell manner, utility carrying cases where fitted parts help ensure protection, food containers, beverage coolers, and other applications where fitted parts add value.
