Choosing between a metal and a plastic enclosure
The usage of metal is necessary for the following applications:
- Public areas without any surveillance (vandalism)
- Exposition to extreme weather conditions
- Specific needs for reinforced mechanical robustness
- Less weight: easier handling and less transport costs
- Plastic can be worked/milled in its thickness for better aesthetics: round edges, decorating groves, chamfer
- Better adequation of the raw material to the application environment: Health & Beauty and Tertiary for example.
