The Quickparts Learning Center provides product designers and engineers with easy-to-use tools to better understand the most effective procedures for achieving the best solution for their applications. The Material Advisor, for example, lets users search more than 30 materials based on a variety of options, including manufacturing process, appearance/color, application, special requirements, production material equivalent, and mechanical properties. Users can compare as many as 10 materials side by side.
