Use of advanced material characterization of plastics enables improved analytical modeling and therefore proveout of parts molded from these materials. Advanced analysis tools are used to predict crack propagation, high strain-rate behavior, anisotropic properties of glass-filled plastics, creep data, and more for injection-molded thermoplastics, enabling engineers to design closer to the theoretical limits of materials and saving 10-20% weight for interior plastic components. This leads to a 5-15% reduction in material costs and a $500,000 USD reduction in testing costs per program.
