  1. Polymers and Advanced Materials Emerging Technologies That You Can Apply Rich Markham Vice President, Productivity Initiatives PolymerOhio, Inc. Westerville, Ohio

  2. PolymerOhio - Networker and Connecter Non-profit organization funded by: Company-funded projects State agencies Federal Grants Mission is to help companies grow and create jobs

  3. The economy is on the rebound! Companies can change their approach from How can we survive? How can we grow?

  4. 6 Key Questions Manufacturing Executives Should Be Asking Themselves (Digital Manufacturing Report, 9/24/2012, Geoff Micks) 1. Are we using the best tools, tactics, and technology available? 2. Does reshoring make good business sense? 3. How do we develop, attract, and retain skilled workers? 4. How can we get proactive about risk management? 5. What programs, organizations, and associations exist to help us succeed? 6. What can I bring to my organization as a leader to drive positive outcomes on new ideas and improved processes?

  5. Many new products are the result of innovative transfers for technology to new applications. How can your company apply a new technology to your products?

  6. Important New Technologies • Bio-based Materials and Renewable Resources • Nano Technology • Computational Methods • Simulation Software

  7. A Renewable Resource for Composite Reinforcement National Fiber Composite Corp. Modified Cellulose Fibers Composites with properties that approach glass composites Columbus, OH

  8. Nano Coatings for Wear and Corrosion Resistance MesoCoat Inc. Nanoparticle-infused surfaces Coatings to add surface hardness and anti-friction Euclid, OH

  9. This new technology can: Replace processes using hexavalent Chromium (toxic). Provide longer wear-resistance than chrome-plated surfaces.

  10. Laser Cladding Head

  11. Nano Particles with Extremely High Surface Area ABS Materials Glass Nano Particles Particles for removal of organics from water Columbus, OH

  12. Osorb Porous particles with a rough surface Absorbs up to 8 times its volume of an organic material. Can be regenerated over 100 times Mild thermal treatment Rinsing Water from fracking?

  13. Iron-Osorb Treated with catalyst to break down chlorinated solvents in groundwater. Continues to be effective for many years.

  14. Simulating Processes and Operations Polymer Portal (soon to be Manufacturers Portal) Affordable Access to Productivity-Enhancing Tools Tools that predict what will happen Westerville, OH

  15. How good would you be if you knew what is going to happen? “Predict before you Act.” Dr. Tom Brady Founder, Plastics Technologies, Inc. Plastics Hall of Fame

  16. Modeling and Simulation Used for decades by large companies. • P&G – virtual prototyping and testing of new products, e.g. bottles • Goodyear – from design to production = 8 months (formerly 3 years)

  17. Software and Training Availability Now on line • Moldex3D – mold flow analysis for injection molding • Ludovic – modeling of twin-screw extrusion process • Supply Chain Management – projection of supply chain needs based on company history • Virtual Extrusion Laboratory - single-screw extrusion and die design Available 1Q 2013 • Polymer Property Estimator – properties based on chemical structure • AutoDesk Simulation 360 – suite of FEA applications • Virtual Fabrication Technology – Predicting effects of residual and applied stresses from start to service • StrategyStreet – Guide to preparing strategic plans • XimeX – modeling of all types of mixing

  18. CoreTech Ltd. Simulation of Mold-Filling

  19. Delta Molding Co., Ohio Designs and fabricates about 40 molds annually Average cost - ~$58K/mold Modifications - ~$10K each About 2 modifications/mold Not presently using mold-filling simulation.

  20. Return on Investment Startup Investment <$2,000 $500 – Training through Portal $800 – Access to Moldex3D for one week If average one less modification per mold: First mold savings $10,000 First year savings $400,000

  21. Engineering Mechanics Corp of Columbus Simulation of Complex Welded Parts Virtual Fabrication TechnologyTM

  22. VFTTM

  23. VFT Weld Model for Ship Panel Distortion Optimization
