Up-to-date Material Database

Continuous and real time update for new product in market to the database, so that you can always get the latest plastic material information.

Exclusive Material Library

Add the favorite materials to your database to manage and download them at any time and any place.

Convenient Functions

Product material and alternative material suggestion, material property comparison, measurement data fitting, material file generation and other convenient functions to assist you in material selection and simulation.

MHC runs strict inspections on every characterized material to ensure each has the accurate information, such as individual physical property inspections, multiple physical property cross-checks, criteria definitions, etc. It also allows users to check plastic mechanical properties, processing curves, and process conditions to learn more details.

Material Quality Index

The MHC data quality is measured by integrating data sources, measurement methods, and data compatibility for six key physical properties. A Quality Index is provided for each material grade allowing users to quickly evaluate materials, saving time on early design decisions while gaining confidence in the simulation accuracy.

Material Quality Ranking：High Score：over 80%		Material Quality Ranking：Average Score：60%～80%		Material Quality Ranking：Low Score：below 60%

Select the right material in the design phase is crucial to reduce the failure rate in production, while finding alternative materials is key to maintain mass production speed. To achieve these goals, MHC helps you find a list of alternatives by defining physical properties or processing conditions. You can also determine the best alternative material by running similarity analysis.

The examples below are three alternative materials picked out by Alternative Material Function in similarity analysis to carry out Moldex3D simulation. From the distribution result of the sprue pressure, the least similar material has the biggest pressure difference compared to the original material.

There are nearly 10,000 plastic materials on the market. How do you find the right one? MHC filters out suitable materials based on the product industry and characteristics. With MHC, finding the perfect material will no longer be a needle in a haystack.

Quickly compare the properties of multi-materials with curves and side-by-side data. The scatter plot visualizes the relationship of user-selected material to others.

Estimate gate shear rate, runner pressure drop, plastic part cooling time to help mold design and production cycle time. Fiber-Reinforced Plastic Property function could appraise elastic modulus and CLTE based on polymer type, fiber type, ratio and orientation.

Transferring experiment data to model parameters require professional knowledge and experience. With Material Data Fitting, you can easily upload material raw data and automatic get well-fitted model parameters for a good start of simulation.

Conveniently generate material file for Moldex3D simulation just by inputting plastic information, material parameter or fitting result, then you can export material file for simulation

Seamless new product information sharing between customer and supplier. Suppliers can upload their up-to date material data at any time to MHC databank and exhibit new products to user.
