About
This database is a compilation of physically based values from different publications, manufacturer documentations, and measurements contributed by users. Each entry has at least one link to a source, so it's always possible to verify their validity.
It's built as an open API so it can be implemented in DCC applications, or any other place that makes sense. Anyone can contribute.
There are many great material libraries available out there, and this isn't a material library in that sense, but rather a reference to validate against.
This website, and the database, are maintained by Anton Palmqvist.
