They received a prestigious industrial design award for their hard work – a 2019 IDEA Gold award in the Social Impact Design category from the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA). To give some perspective, there were only 19 designated Gold winners from among the 101 design awards presented. Avient’s design team assisted with the design, process analysis and production of the injection-molded plastic USee™ device, which includes a copolyester frame, medical-grade polycarbonate lenses, and acetal for the dials and gears.

Discover our novel design and engineering approach enabling superior prediction of molded-in color aesthetics MIC efficiently applies attractive and durable colors and effects in the plastic injection molding process. In this webinar, you’ll learn about an innovative methodology that Avient Design industrial designers and engineers developed to improve insights into final part MIC aesthetics.
