In addition to new commercial programs by individual firms, major technology objectives for LCM techniques are being achieved through the cooperative development efforts of Detroit's Big Three via the
Automotive Composites Consortium.
Applications: Laboratory,
automotive, electronics, circuit boards, construction, credit-card laminating
The need for lightweight material in
automotive production is primarily driven by the demand for better fuel efficiency and reduced exhaust emissions.
The international
automotive industry stands to benefit disproportionately from this growth.
The support has continued in a variety of ways, including a total of $150,000 in scholarships offered by
automotive companies annually, and professionals to serve on CAI's advisory committee and board of directors.
The National
Automotive Center (NAC), founded in 1992, is the DoD/Army focal point for collaborative ground vehicle research and development (R&D).
It has a strong presence in the
automotive, health- care, media measurement and business information markets in the U.K.
From 1982, when
Automotive acquired Dennis Chevrolet and ABC Datsun, until 1985, gross sales increased 350% to approximately $141 million, net income after taxes increased 750% to approximately $2.6 million, total assets increased 140% to approximately $22.6 million and retained earnings increased 320% to approximately $7.8 million.
The
automotive technical session will include two presentations on improved PU foam testing methods that are said to save time and reduce costs.
Applications: RIM/SRIM, injection/ compression, structural foam, aerospace and
automotive laminating
There's a good reason why Microsoft (www.microsoft.com; Redmond, WA) just released the latest version of its automotive-grade software platform--Windows
Automotive 5.0--first in Japan rather than anywhere else in the world.
For the casting industry, however, these challenges have stimulated new progress and manufacturing advancements that are being to put to use not only in
automotive castings, but also being rolled out across all applications.
