Snap fits can be designed for almost any material; the equations from figures 12 and 13 can be used to calculate the correct design. The cooling rate is determined by the material, part design, and desired cycle time.

Because of the nearly limitless possibilities and versatility, material engineers and designers have the freedom and creativity to create new material combinations to uniquely serve new applications. Design flexibility — Composites can be molded into complex shapes and textures at a relatively low cost. Using composite material in automobiles can lower tooling costs and improve design flexibility for manufacturers, while improving fuel efficiency  and the overall driving experience for the consumer by reducing noise and vibration.

Homepage // News Center // Global Premium Brands Count on PolyOne’s Inspired Colors, Materials and Finishes for Luxury Packaging Packaging can play a pivotal, influential role in a consumer’s perceived value of a product when designers use tailored materials and colorants that appeal to the senses,” said Darcy Meyers, marketing director for packaging at PolyOne. In addition, InVisiO designers work with brand owners to develop new color ranges and adapt existing color palettes to bring the brand’s vision to life.

We know designing sustainable solutions often comes with challenges and questions. The materials, parts, polymers, chemicals and other components of the things we use are all designed to re-enter the ecosystem that helped produce them. It is based on three principles: • Design out waste and pollution • Keep products and materials in use • Regenerate natural systems By following these principles, a circular economy can drastically reduce waste, pollution, and resource depletion.
