July Summer School – Plastic Material Selection
July 1 - July 31
Choosing the right polymer is the ultimate balancing act. This month, we shift our focus from forensic analysis to proactive prevention, exploring how early-stage material decisions dictate long-term part reliability.
We have curated three on-demand sessions to help you develop your plastic material selection skills.
- Lesson 1: Navigating Material Selection – Discover a structured framework to move systematically from a blank application page to a highly reliable, data-driven material specification sheet. Watch On-Demand
- Lesson 2: The Clash of the Polymers! — PA66 versus PPO – A side-by-side technical showdown. Compare how these two high-performance materials handle moisture absorption, elevated temperatures, and mechanical load under real-world conditions. Watch On-Demand
- Lesson 3: Synergy of Preventing Product Failure — Material Selection – Connect the dots between design intent and field performance. Learn how to identify and mitigate latent failure modes before your product ever hits the tool. Watch On-Demand
