One major automotive supplier, however, questioned the norm when designing the interiors for a major automaker’s new vehicle model. In addition, difficulty in removing these materials from the mold meant that they could not reproduce intricate geometric details. Additionally, it was projected that scrap rates were reduced by at least 10% over competitive materials.
