Virtual, computer-aided modelling is a critical tool to help predict part performance, streamline design, expedite prototyping and improve manufacturing efficiencies. If the simulation fails, parameters can be modified – enter a new material, modify the design, augment manufacturing, etc. – to yield the desired results. Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division provides solutions that use data from design and engineering, production and metrology to make manufacturing smarter.

A STAND UP PADDLE RISES TO THE TOP WITH NEW MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND MATERIALS Ch all en ge A cc ep te d. Onshoring the manufacturing process of fiberglass shafts would improve their chances of success. Additionally, Avient offered Carbonerro support with the tooling necessary to improve the company’s manufacturing process.

|A team of engineers at this firm was looking for a way to reduce the manufacturing cost of its line of solar-powered lights made using painted metal. Most importantly, the plastic light had to have lower manufacturing costs than the painted metal light. PolyOne provided a pre-colored version of our Geon M5705 material, customized to match the manufacturer’s gray and black painted metal lights.

Once manufactured, fiber optic cable designed with Swellcoat yarns is more reliable and can be installed cleanly and efficiently.
