Carts are great matches for the RIM process. They often combine the demand for an elegant industrial design, complex geometry, structural requirements to support the weight of the unit, as well as an impact resistant surface. Components are designed and molded as a single piece that otherwise would have to be assembled from several parts. Free-flowing curves are easily achieved with Rimnetics' tooling and molding expertise. When Form Follows Function, Rimnetics follows Form.

Another great application for RIM components are gaming machines, ATMs or Vending Kiosks. Since they are often large in format and run in medium production volumes, the low tooling investment available from Rimnetics make them ideal matches for our process.

Subsea and Marine Applications like this propulsion system for a deep sea submersible are ideal candidates for the RIM process. Not only is the polyurethane material salt water resistant, it can also seal and encapsulate other components into your part. In this example, rare earth magnets are encapsulated as part of the electric motor. If a Polyurethane Structural Foam is used instead of a solid polyurethane, the molded part even becomes buoyant.

This is one of Rimnetics core markets. No matter if it is a DNA sequencer, a sample analyzer, or any other medical device, RIM achieves all of its advantages here. With various materials, rated UL94-V0 for flammability, all key requirements for these kinds of parts are being met: Complex, 3-dimensional parts, with appealing industrial design, manufactured at medium high volumes - perfect for RIM.
