We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Engineering Materials",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Technical teaching resource suits university use from
Granta Design, which we summarised at the time by saying "CES EduPack is based around a database of materials property information and a set of software tools, supported by textbooks and resources for lectures, projects and exercises".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Back both horses (plastic and metal) to win from
Norse Precision Castings: "By working with both aluminium and rigid polyurethane, Norse Precision Castings offers impartial advice on materials".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Granta Design
concerning its CES Selector
- take a look at Software aids materials selection
which says: "CES Selector helps product designers and manufacturers to avoid cost, innovate, and meet environmental and other regulations".
Take a look also at the news release from Stratasys, Dell buys landmark rapid prototyping system,
as well as Bearings cut downtime in drilling rig applications from SKF UK,
and Event brings together three conferences from ASM International.
