PolyOne proudly accepted this challenge and collaborated with the nonprofit's founder, Kevin White, to design a simple and effective device specially designed for use in under-resourced communities. Designers Brian Everett, Jane Spikowski, and John Church of PolyOne’s IQ Design team donated design time and expertise to help White, executive director of GV2020, develop his invention, a diagnostic device called the U-See™. PHOTO CAPTION: PolyOne’s IQ Design team assisted with the design, moldfilling analysis, and production of the injection-molded USee device, which includes a copolyester frame, medical-grade polycarbonate lenses, and acetal for the dials and gears.

Can be processed on standard injection molding machines Injection Molded Composite Baseball Bat Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced composites allows deployment of injection molded material solution for design flexibility and customization

Optimizes lubrication for faster injection speed, mold release and extruder output Reusable concentrates significantly reduce time spent cleaning extrusion and injection molding equipment. Technical information, design guides, processing information and more.

Sheets or panels of these materials are easily overmolded in existing high-volume production processes such as Direct Long Fiber Thermoplastic (DLFT) molding, SMC, and injection molding.   LFTs are fiber reinforced thermoplastic pellets used in injection molding machines. Careful analysis at the design stage is crucial to fully harness these benefits.

HVAC doors are typically produced by injection molding two parts that provide structural strength and air sealing performance. However, in this case, designers wanted to reduce the thickness of the part wall significantly to achieve a relative weight saving of 90 percent. Designers were able to achieve a relative weight saving of 90 percent without compromising performance.
