Discover The Future Of Sustainable Lightweight Materials
Focusing on the latest advancements in high-strength, environmentally sustainable materials and joining applications for the body in white and battery electric structures.
Gain a holistic understanding of the latest eco and advanced material applications, from initial design choices for different applications, right through to testing, validation, and scaling up for manufacturing, while maintaining environmental sustainability and cost competitiveness.
Benefit from an in-depth analysis of alternative materials, examining joining compatibility, manufacturability, cost, LCA/ carbon footprint, and end-of-life considerations.
As the automotive industry shifts towards greater sustainability, OEMs with a deep understanding of sustainable material selection for high-strength applications will be better prepared to adapt and thrive in the changing landscape. And yet…
…Designing lightweight automotive body structures that are environmentally sustainable, recyclable, and have a low carbon footprint is a real challenge for automotive engineers
This mission is further complicated by the need to ensure that the development process is cost-effective for OEMs and their supply chain partners, balancing environmental considerations with economic constraints. Sustainable materials with low carbon footprints and high recyclability, such as bio-based plastics, aluminium, or composites, may not have the same mechanical properties for high-strength applications as traditional materials, requiring engineers to create innovative solutions to achieve the desired results. Sustainable materials may also require more intricate designs to achieve mechanical properties and meet safety standards.
So, what are the practical solutions?
What will you learn by attending Sustainable Lightweight Materials?
Learn How To Use & Scale Up The Production Of Sustainable Materials In A Way That Capitalizes On The Best Properties Of Each Component Developing new sustainable materials that meet the required performance standards can help reduce the cost of the structure, increase its sustainability, and address material selection challenges.
Measure LCA, Co2 Footprint & Implement End Of Life Considerations At The Design Stage: For example, incorporating end-of-life considerations into the design stage, such as using recyclable materials or design for disassembly, can reduce waste and disposal costs while contributing to sustainability goals.
Design Optimization With Integrated Joining Solutions For Multi-Material Combinations: Optimizing design to reduce the amount of material required while maintaining safety and performance can help reduce costs, increase efficiency, and address material selection and design complexity challenges.
Discover Solutions For Joining & Manufacturing Efficiency: Cost benefit analysis on whether investing in new manufacturing processes and technologies, such as additive manufacturing or automation, can help streamline production, reduce waste, and improve efficiency, lowering costs and addressing manufacturing challenges.
