MuCell Instrument Panel

This instrument panel is the largest automotive component and first IP molded with the patented MuCell injection-molding process.  That innovation was combined with 10% reactor-grade talc-filled PP, to create a microcellular foam part that reduced weight over 1 lb, lowered cycle times by 15% and clamp tonnage by 45%, and saved an estimated $3 USD / vehicle vs. solid injection molding.
