APPLICATIONS
• Connectors
• Sensors
• Antennas for
handheld devices
– Phones
– Cameras
– GPS
• Security Covers
• Various components
for part consolidation
APPLICATION 1: OMNIPOD CHASSIS
“We had challenges plating the
chassis, which was a second shot
to the lower housing without
overstating the first shot,” said
Clare. “RTP Company’s compound
gave us better control of the plating
process by providing a wider
processing window. This ability to
tailor materials ideally suited to our
needs is what will help make the
OmniPod successful.”
OmniPod has been successful with Insulet receiving multiple awards,
such as the 2006 Medical Design Excellence Award.
APPLICATION 2: HOUSINGS
Circuit patterns can be applied
directly onto plastic housings
and components in two and
three dimensions. 3-D patterns
can be applied with lines and
spaces down to 0.005 inch
(0.127 mm) with a resolution of
0.001 inch (0.025 mm).
Cybershield, Inc. is a subsidiary of Elk Corporation. Based in Dallas, TX
