Time to market is becoming increasingly important for most companies that develop new products.
Over time, plastic parts can change properties due to external factors. This can result in the need for time-consuming tests in order to document and predict the lifespan. To limit the amount of testing, data available from suppliers can be applied in the design phase and make more relevant tests possible.
