MATERIAL SELECTION
Start with the part’s shape, function, appearance and working conditions. For toys, collectibles and small electronics, these requirements guide the material discussion.
No material grade selected yet? Share the part requirements you know. We review material options with your team and confirm the resin grade, additives, color and manufacturing requirements for the specific part.
Color plaques and resin-pellet references.
Compare the part requirements first, then confirm a specific resin grade. Properties and application suitability vary by grade, additives and processing.
Rigid molded parts
ABS is an option for rigid molded housings and detailed parts that need a balance of stiffness and impact resistance.
Confirm for your part
Review the selected grade, impact and heat requirements, decoration and joining method.
Lightweight molded parts
PP offers low weight and a range of stiffness and toughness options for molded components.
Confirm for your part
Review stiffness, repeated-flex requirements, part geometry and surface-treatment needs.
Clear components
Transparent PC grades can combine clarity and toughness for clear covers and other light-transmitting parts.
Confirm for your part
Review the optical requirement, operating temperature, surface finish and cleaning conditions.
Soft-touch features
TPE grades provide flexible or soft-touch features, with selected compounds designed for overmolding onto compatible plastics.
Confirm for your part
Confirm hardness, feel, substrate compatibility and any intended skin, food or mouth contact.
PMMA grades are an option for clear or decorative acrylic parts. Share whether the project involves a sheet-based component or a molded part, along with the required appearance, dimensions and use conditions.
For a transparent component, compare the selected material against the part’s clarity, impact and surface requirements.
These manufacturer references explain general material families and grade differences. The material grade and supplier for a KingDa project are confirmed separately.
01
Record the resin supplier and grade, color reference and any required additives or recycled-content requirements.
02
Check the agreed appearance, feel, fit and functions on the relevant part or sample. Record any changes that need review.
03
Keep the agreed specification and sample reference with the order. Review material or color changes before the next production stage.
A resin-family name alone does not establish suitability for the finished product. Review the material grade, colorants, coatings and intended use together with the relevant documents and tests.
| Requirement | What to share | What to agree |
|---|---|---|
| User and contact | Who will use the product, and whether the part contacts skin, food or the mouth. | The selected grade, relevant supplier documents and product-specific test scope. |
| Loads and movement | How the part is held, joined, flexed or loaded during use. | The part design, sample-review method and acceptance reference. |
| Heat and electrical use | Operating conditions and any specific heat or flame-performance requirement. | The exact grade, intended use and applicable evidence to review. |
| Color and environment | Color, finish, outdoor exposure, cleaning and any recycled-content requirement. | Approved appearance references, material declarations and the agreed checks. |
Continue with the inspection plan and report scope, or review surface finishing and decoration when appearance treatments are part of the specification.
