Digimat for long fibre reinforced materials Advanced simulation captures part performance for fibre reinforced thermoplastics Comparing the results of isotropic material data to anisotropic material data Case study https://hexagon.com/ Figure 2: Digimat material model workflow when coupled with an FEA solver Manufacturing Intelligence hexagonmi.com2 Solution Avient leveraged Digimat to reverse-engineer material data based on the microstructure, tensile test data, and micro-mechanical modelling. The Digimat material cards accurately capture all three of the above phenomena. This observed variability in the material response highlights the need for an advanced predictive approach for material modelling that incorporates anisotropic data.

Is TPE the best material for my products? In the simplest terms, traditional TPE types are made by combining a hard material with a soft material, either chemically or by a machine. The material is not allergenic and does not cause rashes.

All packaged raw materials shall include the Avient raw material SAP code number and will not be compromised. Off-specification material shall not be delivered without prior written approval from Avient (except for Avient orders specifically of off-spec material). The cost associated with the disposition of defective material is solely the supplier’s responsibility and Avient may request reimbursement for any cost incurred during the disposal of defective material.

The first material is injected through the primary runner system white the mold volume to be occupied by the second material is shut off from the primary runner system. Matching the surface energy on both materials is critical for building specific interactions between materials. TPE materials are quantified based on Shore hardness, which is a materials resistance to indenture on a 6.3-mm minimum thickness molded plaque (ASTM D2240).

Dry material. Too much material. Material shrinkage & insufficient supply of molten material.
