ASM International, an American trade association dedicated to materials science, engineering and industrial design, have been rolling out their new website mtrl.com in the last couple of months. It specifically targets designers that are looking for information about materials and finishes, offering a comprehensive materials database with a wealth of information, images and links to manufacturers, suppliers and other resources.
Chris Lefteri Design supplied much of the content for the database, which currently consists of some 250 records from across the material spectrum. New materials are scheduled to be added on a regular basis, so keep an eye open for the latest updates.
The /Mtrl database is fairly unique in that it lets users browse for materials based on things like brand values and sensorial qualities in addition to a rigorous set of technical data, processing information and environmental issues. To try it out for yourself, please visit the database.
