Composite Rear Seat Cushion Frame


Replacing a spot-welded steel structure with a 1-shot, injection-molded high-strength (long-glass/high-crystalline) PP composite allowed for development of a lightweight, low-cost rear seat cushion frame for a rear-wheel-drive sedan.  The application reduced weight 25% and costs 10% while improving the manufacturing process and has generated 1 Korean patent and 2 additional patents overseas.
