Sheet Metal:
Threaded Inserts for Resin Plates
Last Updated: Dec 09, 2024
Starting December 8, 2024, meviy will begin offering threaded inserts for screw holes in custom parts made from resin plates. Resin plates, being a soft material, are prone to thread damage when bolts are repeatedly inserted and removed. In such cases, threaded inserts provide an effective solution. Made from durable stainless steel, these inserts reinforce the threads. To simplify the process, meviy offers instant quotations and makes it easy to order custom parts.
