Defense

Defense industry requirements are constantly changing, but there are a few standards that remain the same; stronger, lighter and faster.  Vaupell maintains a pulse on what the defense market needs and is considered to be a strategic source in making these standards a reality.  In working with some of the top weapon system OEM’s coupled with our knowledge of engineered material solutions, Vaupell meets our customer’s demands.  

When it comes to metal replacement with an engineered plastic, Vaupell is your partner.  While an average weight savings of 30% is typically seen in replacing aluminum, one of the major benefits of converting a metal component is multipart consolidation, elimination of possible corrosion, as well as a total reduction in cost; all without jeopardizing the performance of the part itself.

Whether it is converting an aluminum small arms floating hand guard, molding a hollow air vane for a UAV, or molding a plastic M16 magazine, we can help.
