In addition, the design included more traditional features, such as four small support feet on the underside of the mouse for low-friction, easy-glide operation. Its design team determined the need for a soft-touch material with strong chemical resistance and color stability for the mouse grip. For the mouse feet, Avient formulated a special grade of LubriOne™ filled acetal as an improvement over the neat acetal found in traditional designs.

Product engineers and designers face the ongoing challenge of optimising both design and material selection to deliver parts for high-performing applications. Virtual, computer-aided modelling is a critical tool to help predict part performance, streamline design, expedite prototyping and improve manufacturing efficiencies. If the simulation fails, parameters can be modified – enter a new material, modify the design, augment manufacturing, etc. – to yield the desired results.
