    Injection moldable, water-soluble plastics

    Thanks for the input. The water injection technique is very interesting and new to me, although I'm not sure if it can be used in my application. I did get in contact with a supplier that produces an injection moldable PVOH - Mowiflex by Kuraray. Plan to run some trials with it. Here's the link...

    Injection moldable, water-soluble plastics

    Thanks for the wax suggestion, Mike. Our secondary molding process (epoxy prepreg) is at around 150C and would need the core shape to be fairly stable.

    Injection moldable, water-soluble plastics

    Hi, I've been researching water-soluble plastics, in particular, polyvinyl alcohol pvoh. There were some articles back in 2008-2009 from several companies that claimed they could successfully injection mold it. Does anyone know of suppliers that can currently supply raw pelletized materials, or...

    Clean up curves, CAD split lines, for quad mesh

    Thank you Blas for your advice. I am able to use your advice to do the manual clean up by splitting curves, creating new splines and surfaces. However, in order to preserve geometry and time, I don't think this is efficient for the geometry I'm working with. I have attached an example of the...

    Clean up curves, CAD split lines, for quad mesh

    Hi, new FEMAP user here. I have a surface model imported from CAD which contains many split lines which I'd like to remove before meshing. I've found that the Mesh>Geometry Preparation dialogue is able to clean up a very small portion of the curves, slivers, small faces. Also using...
