Product Material

The material of the robotic plastic shell must meet a variety of requirements, for example the strength, weather resistance, flame retardancy, and aesthetics, therefore selection of material is critical.

Common Materials: ABS. The most common material for robot housings.

Advantages:
1. Easy to machine
2. Cost-effective
3. Excellent surface finish
4. Ideal for prototype development
5. Lightweight and durable
6. High wear resistance for internal structural parts.

And Polycarbonate (PC) has advantages such as high strength, impact resistance, transparency, and high temperature resistance. It is often used for robot shells where appearance and heat resistance are important, especially suitable for high-end equipment such as service robots and medical robots.

Why Plastic Is Widely Used in Robot Housings?

Plastic materials offer several advantages for robot enclosure design.

Compared with metal housings, plastic shells provide lower weight, greater design flexibility, and a more consumer-friendly appearance. Complex curved surfaces, integrated mounting features, and customized industrial designs can be achieved more efficiently through CNC machining and prototype manufacturing.

For robotics companies, plastic housings are often used during product development to verify appearance, assembly, and functionality before injection mold production.
