The Future of Dynamic and Interactive Material Data Sheets for Raw Material Suppliers and Plastics Processors

Description

The ever-changing manufacturing environments and the increasing customer demands for consistent material quality and cost efficiency while enabling sustainable production require raw material suppliers to rethink and expand their role as sole material suppliers. In-mold material data in real-time, including viscosity, material flow detection, degree of cure, and glass transition temperature, allows for a new generation of material data sheets – dynamic and interactive based on varying and industrial production environments. Understanding material behavior within the process allows raw material suppliers to support their customers in optimizing manufacturing, fostering the shift toward smart and digital manufacturing.
