APPLICATION / REQUIREMENTS

Define the material through the part requirements.

Appearance & structure
Define surface finish, color, wall thickness, snaps and fasteners, including weld marks and stressed regions.
Heat & electrical functions
Specify heat, flame, insulation, static control and electromagnetic needs as separate project requirements.
Assembly & environment
Review the material and part through drops, cleaning, temperature/humidity and internal component layout.

PART / PROCESS / VALIDATION

Confirm performance with the actual part.

Confirm the grade, part drawing and equipment before drying, molding and part trials; use formal documentation and trial results for processing parameters.

Appearance: check color, texture, weld marks and batch consistency.
Structure: assess drops, fasteners, snap-fit cycles and assembly after thermal cycling.
Function: test the material and system against the defined resistance, electrical or electromagnetic targets.
