Gears: How to choose the right material for your project in 2023

settembre 20, 2023
The choice of production materials is a critical phase in the realization of any project, especially when it comes to prototypes or new products. For this, today we delve into selecting the right material for your project. Furthermore, we give you practical advice on how to do this effectively, while also providing useful tips for your customers.

Know the needs of the project

The crucial starting point for choosing materials may seem banal to you, but it is understanding the specific needs of your project. We say banal because we often take on projects in which little weight is given to the preliminary study, which then becomes a source of error along the way. This includes considering factors such as strength, durability, thermal conductivity, workability and many others. Clearly defining your project goals will help you establish material selection criteria.

Evaluate material options based on budget

There are many material options available on the market, each with its own unique characteristics. From plastic to steel, aluminum to bronze, it is essential to carefully review the available options and compare them based on your project requirements. A material that is suitable for one application may not be suitable for another.

The choice of material must also be balanced from a financial point of view. It certainly should not be the first factor of choice, however the budget has an essential weight in maximizing the value obtained from the selected materials.

Test and prototype

In the case of complex or innovative projects, we start by creating prototypes and conducting tests to evaluate the behavior of the materials in real conditions. This experimental phase can help identify any problems or opportunities for improvement in material selection.

The selection of materials is a very complex topic which deserves a moment of preliminary study for the success of a project. We often take on orders in which a material is indicated, which is perhaps difficult to find, expensive, or not very suitable for the project, so together with our technical office we study the right solution to propose to the client. If you are starting a new project, or are having difficulty choosing materials, GSI is the right partner to help you.
