For example, an LED lighting demonstration available at the stand offers an alternative to plasma metallizing for the molded interconnect device (MID), a critical LED component.
The display highlights how Therma-Tech™ thermally conductive polymers can replace metal to improve manufacturing efficiency, simplify logistics and increase supply chain control.
Improving design and manufacturing efficiency with metal replacement

Take, for instance, using FEA for a metal-to-plastic conversion.
If you are used to designing in metals, you might be surprised when a polymer’s technical data sheet does not translate into part performance you anticipated.
Many metals can approximate linear elastic behavior, but polymer behavior is not so easily simplified to one modulus, making it more challenging to predict performance based on a data sheet.
