African Advanced Manufacturing and Composites Show

14/01/2020

At the Show last November a key topic was the transformation of auto component manufacturing - this article indicates just how fast vehicle manufacture can change......
“We now understand how to develop and design a multi-material part. The only thing holding us back is getting the materials cost right, as there is currently no-one in the industry mass producing carbon fibre. Ford and other OEMS must put the message out to the supply chain, and once the industry catches up, we will start putting this part into our vehicles. We’re not scared of carbon fibre or multi-materials anymore!”
