Alternative to PVC Frame
« on: September 04, 2007, 02:07:02 PM »
Hello.

Does anyone know a good alternative to PVC plastic for use in robots? I was originally considering using it in the frame for my project since its very durable and workable, but I hear to contains toxic materials and a lot of big organizations like Honda and Microsoft are disusing it. It looks like a lot of robot shops like Jameco robot shop are discontinuing their PVC products as well (was on the phone with them today). Does anyone know where I can find some good sheet, rod, and tube plastic that's still durable and workable, without having it being PVC?
Thanks.
I think the chauffeur did it.

.......

He did.

Go to mcmaster.com and type in 'plastic' at the top left search bar :P

My favorites are HDPE, acrylic, and delrin.
