New Interface Eases Chinese Access to On-Line Plastics Design Database

The international plastics database CAMPUS is distributed by a group of international resin suppliers, with M-Base Engineering + Software GmbH serving as the software supplier and technology partner of the CAMPUS consortium. Material Data Centre, also run by M-Base, is an Internet platform that offers a broad range of design data for plastics. One part of Material Data Centre, called WebView, contains the complete set of CAMPUS data sheets. Free access to WebView is available at www.materialdatacenter.com or at www.campusplastics.com.

As a consequence of the great success of CAMPUS and Material Data Centre in China, M-Base has developed a Chinese user interface for WebView in order to improve the accessibility of CAMPUS data for those more comfortable working in their native language. Recent studies show that more than 10% of all CAMPUS data requests come from China.

Those interested in using the Chinese version of CAMPUS WebView need only Internet access and a browser that has Chinese fonts.
