RIM molded for impact resistance, lightweight performance & design flexibility. Density 1.03 g/cmΒ³, HDT up to 110Β°C. Quadruped shells, AGV housings, sensor pods β STEP file in β quote in 24h.
Engineered for the demands of modern robotics
Ductile thermoset material absorbs collision energy instead of cracking. Protects internal electronics during falls, collisions, and rough handling.
Density 1.03 g/cmΒ³. Reduces robot payload burden, extends battery life, improves agility for quadruped and humanoid robots.
Complex curves, undercuts, and integrated ribs in a single molding shot. No assembly seams. Ideal for organic, biomimetic robot designs.
Low acoustic impedance β ideal for sonar/ultrasonic sensor housings. RF-transparent for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G robot communication.
60β80% cheaper than plastic injection tooling. Viable from 50 pcs batch. Aluminum molds for prototyping in 2 weeks.
HDT 95β110Β°C at 1.8 MPa. Service range β60 to 205Β°C. Performs in hot warehouses, cold storage, and outdoor environments.

Where our PDCPD robot covers are deployed today
Quick answers to the questions we hear most from robotics engineers
PDCPD is 40% lighter than steel, absorbs impact instead of denting, and allows complex organic shapes in a single molding shot β no welding, no seams, no rust. For lightweight agile robots, PDCPD is superior. For heavy-load bearing frames, steel is still preferred.
Reliably 2 mm on most geometries. 1.5 mm achievable on small parts with support ribs. We optimize wall thickness during DFM review based on your robot's size, weight targets, and impact requirements.
Yes. We offer RAL and Pantone color matching with PU or epoxy topcoats. Texture options include smooth gloss, matte, soft-touch, leather grain, and carbon-look. Anti-static and conductive coatings also available for ESD-sensitive environments.
A full quadruped shell set (12β20 parts) typically takes 30β35 days including aluminum molds and first-article approval. If you already have approved molds, repeat batches ship in 18β25 days from order confirmation.
Absolutely. We regularly mold in brass or steel threaded bushings, bearing seats, sealing grooves, and cable channels. This eliminates secondary machining and ensures precise alignment for actuator mounts and sensor brackets.
Yes. We routinely sign mutual NDAs before receiving STEP files. Your robot designs remain your property β we never reuse or resell custom mold designs. Mold ownership transfers to you upon project completion.
Yes. PDCPD has very low outgassing properties and can be formulated with anti-static additives for ESD-sensitive environments. It's easy to clean and sanitize, making it suitable for semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and food-grade cleanrooms.
