Compact cars need to keep a lower price point, yet the auto industry’s exacting safety standards for interior materials – and the OEM’s own commitment to quality for discerning customers – meant the design team would be challenged to find a suitable material for interior surfaces.  Fabric offered the qualities designers wanted, but the raw material cost was too high and secondary manufacturing processes too costly for the car’s intended price point. By rethinking the material for its interiors, the OEM saved more than $500,000 a year in material, manufacturing and logistics costs.

Color Design How can you make the most of color, from design through processing? Advantages of integrating color into product design

Explore the design options & challenges of TPEs with sustainable content Using recycled content in the formulations can impact colorability and/or surface aesthetics, ultimately influencing material choices made during the design phase. These offer a strong, renewable story and may also give you increased design freedom when it comes to on-brand color and design choices.

Designs traditionally have required lead parts produced by machining or casting.  Teams from all three companies worked together to develop new designs based on Trilliant™ Healthcare Radiation Shielding Compound, a high-density, metallic-filled material. Finally, the material gave the OEM's designers greater geometric flexibility so that they could shield areas more effectively than with machined parts.
