Description
Materialapse is an interactive durability simulator. Compare two materials under the same usage scenario, fast-forward years of wear, and inspect the ASTM, ISO, and manufacturer evidence behind the model.

Could you build this?
Partial While an interactive UI comparing materials is simple, creating an accurate durability model citing ASTM/ISO standard degradation curves requires specialized materials science domain expertise and proprietary testing datasets.
What it would actually take: Requires a physical degradation engine based on empirical material testing datasets mapped to ASTM/ISO standards (abrasion, UV, staining resistance curves) combined with realistic aging shader rendering (WebGL/Three.js). The barrier is curating validated physical wear datasets and material science simulation models rather than the frontend UI.
