Your R&amp;D stage is complete, which means you\u2019ve started iterating on the design and have a clear vision of:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What you\u2019re building<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The problem it solves&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your target user(s)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The other products in the market that aim to solve the same problem (and how those products were made)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The next, critical step in the development process is to research the best materials for prototyping and ultimately for mass production \u2014 a challenging task because there are tons of materials to choose from. Knowing how to select the best material for your design is critical to ensuring the longevity and performance of your design. Read on to learn our best tips for selecting and sourcing the right materials to ensure your product withstands the test of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best Practices for Material Selection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you begin prototyping your product, there\u2019s a benefit to carefully considering your production materials and manufacturing processes early on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you\u2019re working with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/articles\/cnc-plastics-selection-guide\">plastics<\/a>, many 3D printing materials were designed to emulate molding resins. So, if you can find a production resin that matches your product requirements, you can pick a prototyping material with comparable specs to your production resin. If you\u2019re unsure which production resin will match your product requirements, you can still test various prototyping materials to assess which comparable production resin is best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your part requires the strength and temperature resistance only a metal can provide, you face a different set of decisions. You\u2019ll need to design your metal joint or fastening for mating components based on the material you choose. For example, while stainless steel is reliably simple to weld, metals like aluminum are trickier and require specific design approaches to join. All of these factors, and more, should be considered when doing the task of material selection for design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/aluminum-ingot-raw-material-1.jpeg\" alt=\"aluminum ingot raw material\" class=\"wp-image-10958 lazyload\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Material Selection Strategy Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best material selection explanation that I\u2019ve seen comes from a trustworthy and easy-to-use engineering textbook (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Materials-Selection-Mechanical-Design-Michael-ebook\/dp\/B001UN2WGQ\">M. F. Ashby, Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, 3rd ed., Elsevier Butterworth-Heinemann, Oxford, 2005<\/a>). This textbook lays out the problem simply with two basic considerations for material selection: the material attributes and function:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"901\" height=\"437\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/attributes.png\" alt=\"Material Selection Strategy Overview\" class=\"wp-image-10959 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/attributes.png 901w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/attributes-768x372.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 901px) 100vw, 901px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pro-Tip: If you\u2019re looking for a quick guide to choosing a CNC machining material, we\u2019ve got you covered with our <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/articles\/cnc-materials-series-common-materials-used-in-cnc-projects\"><em>CNC Materials Series: Common Materials Used in CNC Projects<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step One: Screening &amp; Ranking Material Attributes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step begins with compiling a full list of possible materials \u2014 so start with a list of common materials (Google can show you the best materials or most common materials for your application if you don\u2019t know). Gather as many materials as you can in the beginning, because it will take more work to go back and fill this information in later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary task of this first step is to populate all the attributes that are relevant to your design. This includes those related to the material itself \u2014 such as mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties \u2014 to the ease of sourcing, and the cost of manufacturing and raw materials. Property limits (ranges for the desired attributes) should be considered at this step. Compiling this data will enable you to remove materials from the list that don\u2019t meet the performance and economic requirements for your design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some examples of design requirements and their associated material attributes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Design Requirement<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Material Attribute for Screening\/Ranking<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lightweight, so it can float on water<\/td><td><div class=\"flex justify-center\">\n<div class=\"qtn\">\n  <div class=\"q\">Density &lt; 1<\/div>\n  <div class=\"frac\">\n    <div class=\"numer\">g<\/div>\n    <div class=\"denom\">gcm<sup>3<\/sup><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Must maintain strength, form, and function at 350\u2109<\/td><td>Maximum service temperature &gt; 350\u2109<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, take the shortlist of materials and apply constraints that are intended to maximize performance \u2014 not just meet the performance requirements \u2014 to reduce the list further. Maximizing performance involves looking at the values of <strong>material indices<\/strong> that are a combination of two or more material attributes. Material indices arise from the fundamental design requirements of function, objectives, and constraints.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many rules of thumb to follow for maximizing performance using material indices. For example, if you want to maximize the performance of a spring, you should evaluate each material\u2019s failure stress divided by Young\u2019s modulus:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>material indice for spring performance, maximize 2E<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\ndiv.qtn {\n  font-size: 16px;\n}\ndiv.q {\n  float: left;\n  height: 2em;\n  padding: 0.75em 0 0.75em 0;\n}\ndiv.frac {\n  float: left;\n  text-align: center;\n}\ndiv.numer {\n  border-bottom: 1px solid black;\n}\n\n  <\/style>\n\n<div class=\"flex justify-center\">\n<div class=\"qtn\">\n  <div class=\"q\">material indice for spring performance, maximize = &nbsp;<\/div>\n  <div class=\"frac\">\n    <div class=\"numer\">\u03c3 <sup>2<\/sup><\/div>\n    <div class=\"denom\">E<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, there are materials property charts that provide analysis of material attribute limits vs material indices, which gives you a quick way to analyze which material meets your criteria.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/galvanized-steel-sheet-stock.jpeg\" alt=\"galvanized steel sheet stock\" class=\"wp-image-10960 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/galvanized-steel-sheet-stock.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/galvanized-steel-sheet-stock-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/galvanized-steel-sheet-stock-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/galvanized-steel-sheet-stock-515x343.jpeg 515w, https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/galvanized-steel-sheet-stock-676x450.jpeg 676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step Three: Evaluate Supporting Information<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The third step in evaluating materials is to consider supporting information about each material. Supporting information characterizes data about the material that\u2019s not readily quantifiable.

A BOM is a critical document that gets engineers, procurers, and manufacturers on the same page and communicates the specific \u201cingredients\u201d that will be used to build your product. You should make sure that your raw materials are correctly specified on the BOM. Check out Fictiv\u2019s helpful webinar, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fictiv.com\/webinars\/how-to-format-your-bill-of-materials\">How to Format Your Bill of Materials<\/a> for practical advice on how to structure your Bill of Materials so you can effectively communicate with suppliers and ensure complete manufacturing cost oversight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Main Takeaways<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A strategic approach to materials and component sourcing is a critical component of successful new product development. If you\u2019re able to start planning early on which materials and manufacturing technologies you\u2019ll use for mass production, you\u2019ll have the advantage of a more systematic and efficient approach to prototyping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With attention to detail during this development stage, the final result will be a product that looks and feels the way you envisioned and meets your functional and aesthetic requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all know sourcing is a headache, but Fictiv is your operating system for custom manufacturing that makes part procurement faster, easier, and more efficient.
