Avient Design Sync design with manufacturability: Learn about how Avient Design can help simplify your new product development process How can you make the most of color, from design through processing?

PolyOne proudly accepted this challenge and collaborated with the nonprofit's founder, Kevin White, to design a simple and effective device specially designed for use in under-resourced communities. Designers Brian Everett, Jane Spikowski, and John Church of PolyOne’s IQ Design team donated design time and expertise to help White, executive director of GV2020, develop his invention, a diagnostic device called the U-See™. PHOTO CAPTION: PolyOne’s IQ Design team assisted with the design, moldfilling analysis, and production of the injection-molded USee device, which includes a copolyester frame, medical-grade polycarbonate lenses, and acetal for the dials and gears.

Homepage // News Center // Comfort Meets Design Freedom in New Overmolding Solution from Versaflex™ VDT Vibration Damping TPE Portfolio Customers familiar with our Versaflex VDT material have asked for an overmolding variation that allows them to leverage the design freedom of two-shot and insert injection molding,” said Charles Page, director, global marketing, PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers. Versaflex VDT overmolding grades deliver the same great vibration and impact damping performance as the original Versaflex VDT technology, exceeding most thermoset solutions while offering the advantage of thermoplastic design flexibility.

Their flowability, combined with injection and impact strength, make them a good fit for complex thin-wall moldings while also providing design and processing freedom. We identified a growing need for high-density injection molding solutions that will help brand owners, designers, and manufacturers create weighted premium products with more complex designs than possible when using metals, while simultaneously meeting higher demands on impact strength,” says Matt Mitchell, director of global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. As injection molding materials with good flowability, they deliver finished components in one single process step, helping to facilitate easy assembly.”

Sheets or panels of these materials are easily overmolded in existing high-volume production processes such as Direct Long Fiber Thermoplastic (DLFT) molding, SMC, and injection molding.   LFTs are fiber reinforced thermoplastic pellets used in injection molding machines. Careful analysis at the design stage is crucial to fully harness these benefits.
