AVIENT DISTRIBUTION
Healthcare Supplier Line Card
You face a unique set of challenges when designing parts for the healthcare industry.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2025-02/Hexagon and digimat case study.pdf
Long fibre reinforced
materials have an added degree of modelling complexity
due to the need to capture the effects of bundling, fibre
entanglement and weld lines.
The Digimat material cards
accurately capture all three of the above phenomena.
