Webinar: Material Consolidation Through Prospector
Tuesday, August 25, 2009 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM EDT

Material Consolidation Through Prospector

You use Prospector everyday to access plastic material datasheets, but chances are you probably have an internal list of preapproved materials or suppliers you prefer to work with.  What if those materials were flagged on every results table in Prospector, making ‘in-use’ grades easily identifiable so you don’t reinvent the wheel when doing material selection for a new application? 

Join Melissa Jones of IDES to see how we can integrate your resin lists and private data into Prospector to make material selection more efficient and help meet your consolidation goals.
