No single organization, whether a large multi-national corporation or even the United States government, has all of the best talent necessary, under one roof, to address and resolve complex special-project issues.
Industrial Polymer is a nationwide consortium of material and design engineers, polymer resin manufacturers, toolmakers, molders, researchers, educators, ecologists and other related disciplines. Our goal is to collaboratively address and develop metal-to-plastic and wood-to-plastic conversions in industrial applications.
Every plastics application project, pursued by Industrial Polymer and managed by Lobe & Associates, LLC, evolves through the on-going development of its own unique multi-disciplined strategies group from numerous recognized sources. Contributions lie in the areas of product concept and design, manufacturing options, polymer resin selection, material testing, toolmaking, and virtual product testing including Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Gas Assist Flow Analysis (GAFA).
Lobe & Associates especially acknowledges the academic and engineering contributions by the Rapid Prototyping Center, Speed School of Engineering, University of Louisville and the Center for Manufacturing, University of Kentucky.
