And as an automotive designer, you want each and every one of your vehicles to give drivers and passengers a riding experience just short of nirvana.
Beyond improved surface appearance, protection from friction, and reduced wear, these polymers also offer the design freedom and part consolidation potential of thermoplastics.

Design freedom = unique product offering: The
ability to injection mold Gravi-Tech materials instead of
machining brass enabled API to design a cost-effective,
full-opening flapper valve that is 100% pigable
Use of existing tooling = lower capital costs: API was
able to use the same mold originally designed for nylon
to run the Gravi-Tech materials, saving the substantial
costs of retooling.
Thanks to the customized Gravi-Tech material, API was able
to successfully design and mold a flapper valve that is the
only one of its kind on the market—and offers a less expensive
solution than traditional brass valves.

insert or 2K Molding), machine type, process conditions, material preparation, part design and mold design.
A
combination of novel material technology, part and tool design as well as innovations in overmolding technology
will continue to fuel the imagination of the designer community to meet the everdemanding needs in
ergonomics, aesthetics and value addition in the consumer market.
Unlike conventional part design, two component part designs have to take into consideration
shrinkage’s from two different thermoplastic materials.

Product engineers and designers face the ongoing
challenge of optimising both design and material
selection to deliver parts for high-performing
applications.
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.
If the simulation
fails, parameters can be modified – enter a new material,
modify the design, augment manufacturing, etc. – to yield
the desired results.
