    SHEET METAL MANUFACTURE - FABRICATION / PRESSING / MOULD

    Thanks for your response alansimpson, but in terms of rapid prototyping, for metals the cost would be excessive (if thats what you are suggesting), irrespective of quantities for production.

    Wear Resistant Polymer

    Peek is another material, which is probably ideal for your application. However, this is not cheap, and if you did go for this, you will be looking at about 5 times the price of ertalyte.

    Braking three phase vibratory motors - inverter - resonant vibration

    I am looking to find a way of braking three phase vibratory motors quickly, as the motors have excessive levels of vibration on shutdown. An example spec of one of our vibratory motors is as follows: 3-phase, 0.9KW, 1.45A flc, 400V supply @ 50Hz These vibratory motors are usually just run DOL...
