Integrate system for materials classification in a multidisciplinarian materials library

Abstract

The amount of materials for designers to use in their projects has greatly increased in the last years. New formulations, new blends, new composites, new additives, and the achievements of nanotechnology and modern manufacturing processes contribute to this continuous increase. The correct classification and virtual and physical data provision assists in the materials selection process. This paper shows an integrated system classification by using the barcode reader available for android systems. Reading the codes in material samples are directed to the materioteca website. On the website the designer gets the technical information for this material.
