Proven Product Development Partner

WIDL offers out of Windsor, ON, services around 1. Polymer development and characterization (including recovered polymers) and polymeric product 2. Design by analysis using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and 3. Manufacturing simulation and tuning using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD), to assist all parties involved in polymers and polymeric product developments (material suppliers, compounders, product designers, process simulators, tooling designers and makers, machine builders, trial houses and prototype providers, testing and validation or certification undertakers, part specifiers, sellers, or users, and OEMs), in all industries, as an alternative to trial-and-error. WIDL’s work encompasses recycling in terms of regenerating post-industrial scrap materials, in particular rubbers, and post-consumer products (involving polymers), going through material segregation, thermoset rubber devulcanization and compounding, thermoplastic blending, to return up-scaled compounds and resins to manufacturers or, use them in-house in contract manufacturing or to fabricate products for various uses.

Material Testing & Part Simulations

Developing polymers into polymeric products involves three key elements:

  • Chemistry development and mechanical laboratory characterization;
  • Mechanical design, analysis, and shape optimization, in addition to validation testing and correlation to reality, and
  • Multi-disciplinary processing, that involves chemists, engineers, and hardware (as in pumps, molds and dies), machinery builders, and sellers

Such broadly itemized “ingredients”, required for the development of polymers into polymeric (engineered) products, need to be brought to fine economical equilibria that meet the customer’s specifications.

However, often times, there is a lack of understanding of such building blocks, even at manufacturing levels, even after decades of production and servicing to the various industries. To this day, most companies still rely on trial-and-error to develop materials, tooling, parts and assemblies.

WIDL selects, reverse-establishes, and inspects materials, for any manufacturing process, through destructive or NDE techniques. The company excels in obtaining material parameters from test data which constitutes a major obstacle to valid product time-simulations using FEA and CFD.

“Design parameters” are neglected in product shaping and processing. For example, over-compressing a seal promotes material degradation. Design parameter definitions at WIDL help part makers gauge processing and can go all the way to ensuring the functionality of produced items in time.

The only alternative to the costly “over-design” and time-consuming trial-and-error is simulation of part performance and processing. WIDL cost-effectively builds simulation knowledge for manufacturers, combining novelties in materials and computer design and processes based on CAE/FEA and CAM/CFD.

WIDL validates part designs and processes by testing under various operation and manufacturing conditions. WIDL invests extra efforts to generate data to correlate simulations to experiments. Testing completes under normal conditions and in accelerations using time-temperature superposition (TTS).

I know Dr. Ben Chouchaoui since 1994 when he was employed by German JOH Rubber; I was at ARDL at that time. Dr. Chouchaoui is developing machinery and protocols to characterize polymers for hyper- and visco-elastic responses for nonlinear FEA, which should considerably serve the polymer manufacturing sector.

EXPERTISE AS NEEDED

New Product Offerings

The most important ingredient in product development is material characterization, especially for hyper-elastic materials. WIDL has thus been developing novel patented tools, fixtures, machinery, to characterize polymers in particular, under all independent modes of deformations.

How Does It Work?

WIDL works with manufacturers (one-on-one or in groups) on existing programs, for cost-savings, on tools, molds, dies or parts quoted, towards optimization, on specific projects, for cost-effectiveness. WIDL also structures R&D for production shops, from early concepts, with potential third-party integrations.

WIDL selects, reverse-establishes, inspects materials, for manufacturing, by destructive or NDE techniques. Besides, obtaining material parameters from test data constitutes a major obstacle to valid product time-simulations. WIDL assists material suppliers, tool shops, machine builders, manufacturers, Tier Suppliers, and OEMs, characterize materials for FEA and CFD. WIDL also selects parameters for modeling at WIDL or for patrons’ discretionary uses. WIDL develops equipment for testing materials too, from design, build, trials, data acquisition, and analyses of test results.

The alternative to the costly over-design and time-consuming trial-and-error is simulation of part performance (e.g., the longevity of an ultrasonically-welded polymeric structure) and processing (e.g., heaters/cooling lines and amounts/locations of gates for the lowest cycle time of a BOP for the oilfields). WIDL cost-effectively builds simulation knowledge for manufacturers, combining novelties in materials, designs, and processes. And, any know-how gained through R&D remains the property of the contractor, with easy data access at any time via WIDL.

Traditional life analysis relies on times-to-failure data under normal service conditions. Accelerated life tests provide reliability data such as the probability of a product to fail, its mean life under use conditions, and its projected returns and warranty costs. Reliability data on a manufactured polymeric product at WIDL in particular, also assesses risk performance, design, processing, etc. Accelerated tests consist of life testing and can take the form of usage rate or overstress accelerations. Moreover, all product validation testing at WIDL aims at correlations to numerical predictions.

WIDL also structures R&D for production shops, from early concepts, literature and patent searches, design and simulation, to prototyping and testing, with the transfer of knowledge benefiting contracting shops and their patrons. WIDL can be part of any program and production team, or take on entire management and R&D of applications for customers.

WORLDWIDE SERVICES

We Serve the Polymer Industry!

WIDL assists all parties involved in polymers and polymeric product developments (material suppliers, compounders, product designers, process simulators, tooling designers and makers, machine builders, trial houses and prototype runners, testing and validation or certification undertakers, part specifiers, sellers, or users, and Tier Suppliers and OEMs), in all industries, from conception to production and after service recycling.

In today’s competitive marketplace in all industrial sectors, manufacturers must continuously enhance quality, reduce cost, and accelerate delivery processes. However, most manufacturing firms cannot meet these challenges with internal resources alone (for a lack of advanced laboratory equipment, powerful FEA and CFD software, and specialized personnel). As an alternative, they sadly recourse to trial-and-error. A better option is collaborating with a ‘center of expertise’ that can quickly and efficiently, apply skilled people, efficient tools, and demonstrated technologies to meet industry challenges. WIDL is such ‘center of expertise’, strategically located in Windsor, ON, ready to promptly, methodically, and cost-effectively, assist manufactures and their suppliers and clients. Besides, production floors inherently generate 10 to 20% of scrap in terms of flash, runners, bad parts, test parts, etc. WIDL is positioned to regenerate post-industrial scrap and post-consumer products for repeat manufacturing (circular economy), going through material segregation, thermoset rubber devulcanization and compounding, thermoplastic blending, to return reclaimed materials to their generators, or use the new compounds and resins in contract manufacturing or to produce new products.
