This
meant the raw materials and processing method
needed to be reconsidered.
In addition to the lighter weight requirement, the
material and process would need to deliver an ultra-low
cycle time with improved processability and tailored
crystallization dynamics, while also resisting warpage
after molding, a common issue for thin walled plastic
parts.
An added challenge was to ensure the material was
stabilized against potential degradation.
