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. 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. This observed variability in the material response highlights the need for an advanced predictive approach for material modelling that incorporates anisotropic data.

Primary die casting materials are zinc, aluminum, and magnesium. Injection Molding - Thermoplastics Injection molding creates molded parts by injecting heated, molten plastic materials into a mold, which are then cooled and solidified. HOW SUPPLIERS CAN HELP EVALUATE MATERIAL TRANSITION Successfully using composites goes beyond simply swapping one material for another.
