Two-Cavity Fender

This program represents the first use of 2-cavity injection molding to produce an unreinforced MPPO / PA fender.  In turn, this reduces tooling investment and cuts per-part cycle time by 50%.  The part, which is 50% lighter than steel and cuts CO2 emissions by 40% in a full LCA analysis, features integrated brackets and offers excellent HIC capabilities without need for additional crush brackets.  It is OEM paint-line compatible for electrostatic painting (thanks to a conductive filler).
