Your company must be doing well or your boss is south european, as he ordered a machine already. I thought you didn't want foam products. I don't really know much about injection of foams. Just that, as Pat mentioned that they generally take a blowing agent. It's funny the water story. :D...

Hi Guano. Did you use to find info on Material websites, while doing your degree? There are a few that are useful. For general info on EVA check...

Hi. If you could provide more details on the shape of the part, we could be of more help. For instance, what to do you with the material inside of the hollow product? Does it have to stay there; be part of the structure? If it is soemthing like a open hollow part (such as a tube) you can a...

Harry: No, I wasn't taking the piss. I was merely saying that I was positively surprised. I don't see how the desire to work for a particular company would give any points. As Pat described a bit his background, I felt impelled to do the same. So, Dupont personnel is a bit like the US federal...

Wow Pat. Congratulations in the sense that most senior (wiser) people don't generally use the internet, at least for fora. I did Polymer Engineering and at (and before) the first year of my degree I wanted to go and work for Dupont (because of the high performance materials, such as Kevlar)...

Hi guys. First, Pat I didn't mean to be disrespectful. I surely would like to have the knowledge you have on materials. Do you deal with natural fibres? I am not really certain about distributors/retailers for carbon fibres. Generally, you can find yarns of carbon fibre as they are used for...

Fluorescence: Perhaps, you should think it through. Do you really want to give your product to someone and then work for them? Especially in the US, where you can be fired for no reason? If your idea is good, you should try to find investors (venture capital, business angels, etc )for it. Not...

Man, how old are you Pat? I am not quite certain if nowadays carbon is still the most expensive, due to the increase of capacity. I know the price peaked a few years ago (maybe between 2003-2005), because of Airbus and Boeing. There are several E-moduli for carbon fibre. The most common is...

Being subjective: Carbon fibre is awesome. :D I don't actually know monetary values, but I think Patprimer might know a bit. But it should be expensive. As carbon fibre is used a lot on composites, I suggest for you try the composite engineering forum in this website. Just a small comment...

Have you considered carbon fibre? I am not familiarised on it being used on its own, but perhaps would meet most of your requirements. Not the translucency, of course, but I doubt any of the proposed, except Nylon will. I think Dyneema might be a material to look into, as well. I totally agree...

Hi guys. I don't know any straightforward Finite Element Analysis software. Or cheap for that matter. They generally cost tens of dollars. Generally it would be convenient to have an expert, unless the design is quite basic. But for this, you should be able to hit it off with a spreadsheet or a...
