Lightweight Aero-Corner Panel

This lightweight aero-corner panel for commercial trucks is injection molded with MPPE/PA in a twin-cavity sequentially valve-gated tool for balanced fill.  Because the material is conductive and can handle online paint temperatures, cycle time is further reduced vs. sheet metal or SMC.  The result is a 37% mass savings vs. sheet metal plus parts integration, greater design freedom, corrosion resistance, and improved impact.
