Polymer innovations dedicated to automotive systems
The
Automotive Channel of Omnexus is a dedicated online area to Automotive cost reduction
and Automotive weight reduction solutions. By focusing on the latest Polymers
and Elastomers available on the market, or to be launched in the coming months you
will learn from current:
- Automotive cost reduction solutions
- Automotive weight reduction examples
- Automotive transparent materials
A
Solution Gallery is offered to you with a free access to understand effective design solutions like replacing metal to reach efficient automotive weight
reduction. You can also discover the latest polymer innovation among the automotive
transparent materials, and identify new ways of reducing cost on your automotive
parts. In each of the offered Solution Case Studies you can ask
for more information or contact an expert to discuss further your challenges in
reaching unmet automotive cost reduction.
An Editorial is regularly uploaded on the Automotive Channel of Omnexus.
These editorials are written by independent experts, and allow you to have an insight
on the new Solutions launched. Industry trends like the latest weight reduction,
cost reduction and transparent materials applied to automotive part and
components are screened and detailed.
The Automotive Channel is also keeping you up-to-date with the industry
news related to automotive challenges like cost reduction, weight reduction and transparent
materials.
As an example many solutions already exist to replace glass on windows or panoramic
roof. Polycarbonate and PMMA are the preferred polymer thanks to their natural transparency.
But they provide the automotive designers with much more than glass-like transparency;
they also allow much more complicated shapes while reducing part price. Automotive
transparent materials are so far the ideal choice to meet with even more
cost reduction requirements and innovative and eye-catching part design.
Few in-depth
articles are uploaded every month on the Automotive Channel. These free-access
articles allow you to be updated on automotive trends, latest regulations, and solutions
to address these challenges. Reducing fuel consumption is of course the hotest
topic within the automotive industry. And achieving this ever demanding goal can
be very often eased by weight reduction projects. Thanks to their inherent light
density compared to metals, polymers, especially high heat resistant polymers
are an efficient material solution. By reducing component count they also offer
cost reduction by reducing the number of assembly steps. Manufactured parts or full
systems are also taking benefit from the well-known polymer design freedom by adding
at no cost new functions.
As for
all the Omnexus Channels, the Automotive
Channel also proposes frequent free Technical
WebSeminars detailing a product or a new technology. Within an hour
you can so far learn easily, and even ask very specific questions at the end of
these online events. Whatever your current challenge is to achieve weight reduction,
cost reduction, or use a new transparent material pay a regular visit on the Automotive
channel, and you will stay up-to-date with these innovations.
