Introduction

Material optimization is a primary concern for industrial and consumer equipment designers and manufacturers.

Material optimization nearly always means 'material cost reduction' – that is: 'make it cheaper.' But it can also mean 'make it lighter,' 'make it smaller,' 'make it more eco-friendly,' 'make it safer,' and 'make it more reliable in service.' In particular, compliance with regulations on environmental impact and use of hazardous materials is becoming increasingly important.

Granta’s software and expertise help companies to achieve such objectives. Our GRANTA MI materials information system helps you to manage and use critical data, our CES Selectors offer valuable materials selection capabilities, while our reference data provides information that helps you to take the right decisions.
