Abstract

Polymers are extensively applied and discovered acceleratory. As they are numerous, the mastery in plastic assortment is rarity and never complete. Experts in plastic products’ design are mainly inaccessible to small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs’) due to their economic and personnel capacities. This paper presents a common plastic product development process and its deficiencies regarding material selection process, where engineer has to consider technical parameters along with customer’s expectations. A decision support system for plastic products’ design is proposed to offer intelligent advice or recommendation to young or inexperienced designers.
