Prospector Quick Tip!

How to Compare Plastics
In this short tutorial video, you'll learn how to compare two materials side by side in a product datasheet. This technique is also a powerful way for manufacturers and distributors to benchmark the performance of their materials in comparison to their competitor's grades. View demo (1 min.)

The new Prospector will help you more efficiently research materials, analyze resins for specific design applications, and buy plastic from reputable suppliers.

The Aesthetic and Dimensional Molding Process Window
Presented by: Suhas Kulkarni, FIMMtech

The second part of the two part series will introduce the concept of Aesthetic and Dimensional Process Windows. Results from the Design of Experiments provide process parameters that will yield an acceptable process to meet the quality requirements. However, this process that yields dimensionally acceptable parts may not be robust, since it may be in a cosmetically unacceptable area with possibilities of defects such as short shots or flash. The talk will focus on this aspect of the process qualification process.
