This greatly improves solution resolution and provides a guide for optimising the plastic component and mold tooling design,” said Brad Davison, the North America Director of Technology for Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. In addition to providing a robust way to account for differing gate locations from the manufacturing process, Hexagon’s Digimat multiscale modelling approach provides significant improvements in the accuracy of the stiffness and failure. Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division provides solutions that use data from design and engineering, production and metrology to make manufacturing smarter.

They provide high mechanical performance within tight specifications. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment.

The glass fiber orientation provided lightweight strength in all directions while meeting the specific thickness required for the tube structure. When deployed, the composite material quickly unrolls to form rigid tubes that are strong, stable, rugged, and weatherproof—providing the ultimate user experience even in extreme conditions.

They also provided local support during the sampling process, which helped speed testing and development time for Victorinox. Avient provided product development assistance and testing, and ultimately delivered customized materials that met strict requirements for durability.

Available with 10–40% short glass fiber fillers, these formulations provide superior chemical resistance, low moisture uptake, excellent dimensional stability, and high impact and wear resistance.

TOUGH ENOUGH TO PROTECT THE POWER GRID MODULAR BALLISTIC PROTECTION MADE POSSIBLE WITH COMPOSITES THE CHALLENGE Recent attacks on U.S. electrical substations across the country provide stark reminders that our nation’s power supply remains a primary target for criminals focused on harming our country and security.1 The call to action is evident: we must continually improve the physical and technological infrastructure protection of our nation’s energy supply. They can be constructed in a modular configuration to provide the required threat-level protection and simplified replacement in the event of an attack.

They also provided mold fill evaluations to evaluate the best injection parameter set up to process Therma-Tech in the respective mold. Next to lower density, design optimization for the use of thermally conductive materials is key for the weight and cost saving that our Avient Design specialists provide as an additional service to our customers.
