PDCPD robot quadruped shell - HongFox RIM molded

Why PDCPD for Robot Covers

Design freedom, impact survival, and paint-ready surfaces for next-gen robotics

Complex geometry molding

Design Freedom

Undercuts, ribs, bosses, integrated mounts — all molded in one shot. Wall 2–12 mm.

Impact resistant robot shell

Crash & Fall Tolerant

Ductile thermoset absorbs impact from drops and collisions. Unnotched impact 80 kJ/m².

Lightweight robot shell

Lightweight

Density 1.03 g/cm³. Reduces payload burden, extends battery life for mobile robots.

Low cost tooling for robot parts

Low Tooling Cost

60–80% cheaper than injection. Aluminum mold in 18 days. MOQ from 50 pcs.

Class-A paint ready surface

Class-A Surface

Paint-ready out of mold. No sink marks on complex curves. Accepts PU/epoxy/UV topcoat.

RIM production line

Scalable Production

From 50-piece prototype batch to 5,000+ production runs. Consistent quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. As a ductile thermoset, PDCPD deforms and absorbs energy rather than cracking. Ideal for mobile robots that experience falls.

Leather grain, fine matte, high-gloss, soft-touch paint, EMI-shielding coating — all achievable via mold texture or post-processing.

Yes. Threaded inserts, boss structures, and mounting flanges can be molded in. Reduces secondary assembly steps.

~30 days including aluminum mold and first-article approval. CNC prototype available prior to mold commitment.

Yes. NDA available before STEP exchange. Your design files are never shared with third parties.

Up to 2 m in a single shot. For larger parts, we design split molds with seamless mating surfaces.
