How quickly can customized polymer materials meet new requirements?
We all know that parts and systems experience ongoing cost pressures while also having to deliver higher performance. At the same time, the trend toward shorter product life cycles, smaller production lots and greater part complexity is growing. This situation increases the need for dedicated material solutions.
Drawing on their dedicated application know-how, our Business Development team will show you how they translate customer application specifications into tools you can use — tools such as the LUMAS Material Selection system, which supports the selection of materials that don’t face raw material limitations. Our team will also show you how they use this information to quickly offer customers specific recommendations and solutions for materials.
