LFT Material Solution Case Studies

A pivot point design allows Frog Legs wheelchair caster wheels to function like airplane landing gear to provide a smoother ride. Their second generation wheels are 33% lighter using molded long carbon fiber composites.

Long fiber composites are the material behind a unique motorboat propeller system by Piranha that makes use of interchangeable blades to lower repair costs and fine tune performance.

A consumer electronics company with a pressing need to stay ahead of the competition approached PlastiComp with a compelling opportunity: to make a mobile phone lighter by substituting a metal bracket with one made of plastic.

Working with engineers at Wipaire, Inc., the largest maker of aircraft floats globally, we partnered to develop entirely new, custom-molded hatch covers for aircraft like the 10-seat Quest KODIAK, using long-glass reinforced thermoplastic composite technology.
