ON-SIGHT SM | MATERIAL RESOURCE CENTER
ON-SIGHT SM | MATERIAL RESOURCE CENTER brings the at-a-glance efficiency of the acclaimed Materia Tabula® materials library system to your own in-house corporate or design-center material resource center.
Unlike standard materials libraries that are populated by out-of-date binders, whose samples have been ‘cannibalized’ for presentation or specification purposes, and inconsistent vendor-to-vendor formats, the On-Sight | Materials Resource Center is designed to provide a designer, engineer, materials specialist or specifier with an instant view of all materials, without having to open binders or make sense out of disorganized samples. Whether the Materials Resource Center is being used for design inspiration, definitive materials research, or collaborative brainstorming, the make-sense formats keeps itself organized and ready for each an every project.
The On-Sight | Materials Resource Center is an indispensable tool to any product development, design, engineering or academic organization.

MATERIAL LIBRARY LEASING PROGRAM
Oftentimes, geographical distance or busy work schedules make it impractical to visit Material ConneXion's libraries of new and innovative materials. Sometimes there is no substitute for the hands-on, sensorial experience of physically touching and learning the characteristics of a material first hand. Material ConneXion's Library Leasing Program, with a collection of more than 3,500 new and innovative materials to choose from, can bring the experience directly to your innovation office or design studio. We will custom tailor a selection of materials to be relevant to your industry or company's projects to provide your design development teams with inspiration and information. Whether you want 25 or 500 materials on-site at your location, we can customize a Materials Library Leasing Program especially for you. This program utilizes Material ConneXion's proprietary Material Tabula® system and is physically compatible with the On-SightTM| Materials Resource Center system.

CUSTOM MATERIAL BOX
Whether it’s for inspiration, ideation or specification, Material ConneXion understands how much the sensorial experience (“touch and feel”) can play in the creative process.
Our Custom Material Boxes are always relevant to your firm’s design endeavors because they are always custom-made for you, never generalized, so they are always about materials you are interested in.
Material ConneXion always guards your identity with material suppliers, so there is never a concern about a Custom Material Box program resulting in unwanted sales calls.
Each sample will be sent with its product information summary including description of the material, current applications and contact information of the material developer.
