Products are designed with the most apropiated material to be used.
The unique properties and characteristics of materials determine their specific use.
Choosing the right technical material depends on the specific properties required to fulfill the function of a product or project.
1. Identify the purpose of the material: define its use or application:
Will it be structural, decorative, insulating, conductive, etc.?
Consider the conditions it will be exposed to, such as temperature, humidity, pressure, or corrosion.
2. Analyze the properties of the materials: evaluate the most relevant properties according to the function.
Mechanical properties,
Thermal properties,
Electrical properties,
Chemical properties
Aesthetic properties
3. Evaluate Availability and Cost Choose materials that are available within the project’s
budget.
4. Consider Environmental Impact: Prioritize recyclable, biodegradable, or environmentally friendly materials.
