Victorinox designed and manufactured its first knives more than 130 years ago, and their pocket knives have been officially issued to Swiss Army recruits since 1891. THE SOLUTION Avient engineers guided the Victorinox team early in the development cycle for the new Soldier’s Knife, proposing a combination of materials for the handles that would meet the design aspirations as well as Swiss Army standards for durability. Beyond finding the best material combination—Bergamid™ nylon copolymer and GLS™ TPEs—our global presence and expertise across an array of specialty polymers and colorants, combined with local service and support, helped Victorinox to accelerate development work, streamline production and reach their design goals.

Design bottles that will stay protected, despite drops and impact Ensure the base of the bottle does not have too much material or become thermally crystallized, as it will cause the bottle to become brittle  

Mold Design Recommendations Gates 1. If material is not in the recommended moisture percentage, continue to dry material until it is in an acceptable range for molding. If material is not in the recommended moisture percentage, continue to dry material until it is in an acceptable range for molding.

As a medical equipment and device manufacturer, your high- performance, ergonomically designed equipment requires robust materials with high resistance to chemicals, UV rays and impact. With a dedication to sustainable solutions, technical and logistics expertise and innovative design engineering capabilities, we can help you mitigate risk, optimize design, and accelerate product commercialization. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

In addition to increased flexibility, designers wanted the prosthetic foot to provide multiaxial stability, have a symmetrical shape for right or left side application, and provide a modern, attractive design—a feature generally reserved for higher activity prosthetic feet. Beyond material selection, the collaborative team also identified a proprietary design and finishing process that could be achieved with the tooling already in place at WillowWood’s Ohio-based manufacturing facility. And it does all of this in an updated, attractive design

Incorporating composite materials in snowboard bindings is not a new concept. And, unlike thermosets, thermoplastic materials are able to be easily thermoformed to the exact shape required before inserting into the injection mold. And beyond giving credibility to marketing claims, Rome’s team was impressed by the design freedom that our material offered
