Mold & Fold Cluster-Attachment Bracket

Using “negative space” in the tool, this mold-&-fold cluster attachment bracket provides a mounting surface for the instrument panel’s cluster without the necessity of adding an additional part. Cluster attachment locations are integrated into the IP substrate tool and the "molded-in hinge" is then folded into place. This allowed the styling team to maximize the size of register openings and the cluster lens by minimizing the design space between them.
