Moldex3D Material Lab Capabilities

This document provides an overview of laboratory equipment and methods for characterizing the physical properties of thermoplastics and thermosets to enable computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulations. Measurement techniques are described for viscosity, density as a function of pressure-volume-temperature, crystallization behavior, thermal properties like heat capacity and thermal conductivity, and mechanical properties like Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio for thermoplastics. Additional techniques are covered for characterizing the reactivity, curing kinetics, and chemorheology of thermosetting materials during cross-linking. The goal is to obtain property data that can be fitted into constitutive equations and models describing the thermodynamic state, mass balance, energy balance, and momentum balance
