Long fiber thermoplastics (LFTs) deliver exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, and are frequently used as lightweight replacements for metal. LFTs, materials where the plastic pellet and fiber length are both greater than 12mm, are especially useful in applications that need improved strength and toughness. It’s easier to reach these performance goals when you have a roadmap. That’s why we created this guide. It can help you maximize the benefits of these injection-molded materials while avoiding the most common pitfalls, and move from concept to production with greater speed and confidence.
