Material Conversion
Transitioning to Composites
Designers and engineers are increasingly finding great value in converting parts previously designed in traditional materials such as steel and aluminum to SMC and BMC.
Our 3i Composites Technology team can help in this transition as OEMs find that composites can optimize performance, thrive in harsh environments, deliver higher strength, and offer lower density for their products.
The 3i Composites Technology Center uses a variety of methods and tools to identify and evaluate the viability of material conversion including:
- SOLIDWORKS® CAD and simulation capabilities
- Application review and material selection support
- Material comparison for conversion from conventional materials
