Humotech Caplex™ PRO-002 is a wearable device that
is used to design and evaluate experimental prosthetic
mechanical properties or to emulate and test-drive
the mechanical properties of commercially-available
prosthetic feet.
Because the
springs are easily machined and available in various
thicknesses, the design of the prosthetic can be
optimized to offset patients’ natural weight and gait
differences.

One major automotive supplier, however,
questioned the norm when designing the interiors for
a major automaker’s new vehicle model.
THE SOLUTION
The supplier’s design team approached Avient in
hopes of finding an alternative material that could
replace leather yet eliminate processing issues.
Our
design team created a formulation modified for the
supplier’s specific processing environment.

Materials need to meet regulations (such as
UL flammability compliance), be hygienic, and
provide flexibility in design for options such as
lightweighting or varied exterior finishes.
