Virtual, computer-aided modelling is a critical tool to help predict part performance, streamline design, expedite prototyping and improve manufacturing efficiencies. In reality, the material response can fall anywhere between the curves shown in Figure 1. If the simulation fails, parameters can be modified – enter a new material, modify the design, augment manufacturing, etc. – to yield the desired results.

Matching colors: Can it be a trend if it’s always been this way? Disparate colors: Mixing the colors of textiles in a car’s interior can stretch its appeal to new audiences. As more technology is included in vehicles, colors will be one of the tools designers reach for to help drivers easily locate new gadgetry. 

This can result in helping to reduce net working capital by cutting inventory costs. They are suitable for a wide variety of markets and applications, including: • Lawn and garden equipment • Tools and hardware • Consumer disposables • Sports/shooting sports Omnicolor is not suitable for FDA primary pharmaceutical packaging, cosmetic or medical applications, and may have limited food contact compliance.

Beyond weight reduction, Hammerhead panels can accelerate installation and labor productivity because they replace the typical wood, hand lay-up and vacuum assisted process with a consolidated, ready-to-install panel. Applications ranging from structural to cosmetic in areas such as bulkheads, decking, and cabinetry can benefit from the increased design flexibility these new panels generate. We are investing heavily in composite innovation, and these recent marine applications highlight how customers benefit from the next generation of metal, glass and wood replacement," said
