Stop thinking one-for-one: Rather than looking for materials that can replace a metal part using the identical geometry, designers are now capitalizing on the additional freedom to form plastics into net shapes. Don’t wait too long to select materials: Engage with a polymer supplier early on in the design process to specify the exact material attributes you need. Take advantage of hybrid plastic/metal designs

Injection Molding: Part Design Injection Molding: Mold Design Protective Materials

A weak, less elastomeric material will creep more than a higher strength, more resilient material. Flexural modulus measures the materials’ resistance to bending, and hardness measures the materials’ resistance to penetration. Generally, higher hardness materials have better abrasion resistance.

After taking part in a customer-day event at the Avient ColorWorks design and technology center in Milan, company founder Francesco Franceschetti was inspired and suggested a collaboration to conduct an exhaustive study of the Italian ski boot marketplace and the colors boot makers use in their products.
