Application Highlights
Application Specific Materials
Competitive Cost
Application Specific Materials
Unlike providers with only one material or process to offer, CORE has a variety of materials to meet the specific needs of your product. With both thermoset and thermoplastic capabilities, the expertise to specially formulate materials for your particular performance requirements, and a range of processes to fit your program parameters, CORE can customize a solution perfectly suited to meet your needs.
Competitive Cost
Composites often present lower tooling costs and the ability to combine multiple pieces into one component eliminating complexity, waste and assembly labor costs. With an industry-leading range of material and process options, CORE can collaborate with you to select the right combinations that optimize cost and performance for your specific project.
Corrosion Resistance
Corrosion Resistance
Give your products longer life and avoid quality problems and costly warranty claims from corrosion and chemical damage by substituting composites for traditional metals. Composites meet or exceed many challenging performance standards, while preventing rot and rust. CORE can assist you in designing corrosion and chemically resistance parts through the use of styrene monomers and custom formulations for application to specific products exposed to harsh environments.
Integration of Multiple Components
Ease of Installation
Integration of Multiple Components
Combining multiple components into fewer parts reduces complexity and lowers assembly and labor costs in your operations. CORE can apply our design and engineered plastics expertise to help you eliminate cost by developing designs that integrate multiple components into a single molded part.
Ease of Installation
Taking weight out of your products improves the safety and ease of installation for your customers. The use of lightweight composites and engineered plastics that CORE provides has changed the safety and cost equation for numerous applications that require moving and positioning of products during end use installation.
Program Support
Program Support
CORE has experience supporting programs of all types, from prototype through serial production. Whether your program launches with First Article Inspection (FAI) or a fully-developed Run-at-Rate PPAP approval, we have the talent, systems, and expertise to handle it. Using rigorous APQP processes in a Phase Gate approach, we turnkey the entire tooling development and production approval process. You can count on CORE for an on-time, flawless program launch.
Low Conductivity
Low Conductivity
The low electrical conductivity of composites and engineered plastics provides a benefit over traditional metals in application environments where spurious electrical currents and interference from electronic devices need to be managed.
