Defining material properties and application requirements is the first step:

• Will the material be exposed to chemicals or moisture?
• What temperatures will the part be handling?
• Will it have to meet specific requirements and regulations?
• Should the material have a certain color and/or texture?
• Is there a budget requirement?
