PRODUCT BULLETIN
PROCESSABILITY
MEETS PERFORMANCE
Polystrand™ advanced thermoplastic
composites combine high strength,
unidirectional, continuous fibers with
engineered thermoplastic resins to create
continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic
(CFRTP) materials that feature exceptional
strength-to-weight ratio and high impact
resistance.
Through injection or compression
overmolding, composite tapes and multi-
ply laminates are integrated into traditional
thermoplastic molding processes to create
locally-reinforced, molded components.

By using mold filling simulation and Digimat to evaluate
several options, we can account for manufacturing
variation when performing long fibre structural analysis.
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.
Avient and Hexagon used Digimat to develop anisotropic
long fibre material data for a molded connector rod.
