RMA online provides more efficient processes for manufacturers

ANDOVER, MA., March 3, 2003 — Resinate� Corporation, a leader in Automated Material Management for discrete manufacturers, today announced the availability of RMA� Version 4.0, an ASP version of its core RMA application, that allows rapid selection of materials for parts and assemblies during the design process.

RMA (Resinate Material Advisor) v4.0 allows the user to access the material database over the Internet, compared to the core application which is installed on the workstation and where updates of the database are fulfilled via a web connection. This ASP version eliminates manual processes and delays typically experienced in the materials selection process by providing an immediate, iterative interface to compare, choose and specify materials to a part.

"RMA v4.0 gives our users the ability to access real-time material data and sort it by supplier, grade, and/or price," stated Brian Schiebel, VP Sales, Resinate Corp. "RMA's v.4.0 Cost Estimating and Analysis, FEA Data Integration, and Equivalents Matching Technology allow RMA to be customized for each users' needs."

Within this ASP version, RMA v4.0, users can immediately access the following features:

        Iterative, response-driven interface to help narrow down the correct plastic material for the part being designed.

        More than 13,000 choices of material

        Detailed database of material properties including thermal environments, impact strength, Flammability, UV properties etc

        Immediate calculations provided for selected material

        Direct comparisons between several materials under consideration by the user

        Chosen material details can be directly downloaded and exported to FEA and other analysis applications for testing.

RMA v4.0 will be revealed at the NDES (National Design Engineering Show) March 3 – 6, 2003, at the Autodesk booth #5901.
