Plastic Reinforcement for Truck Bumper


This is the first steel pickup truck bumper reinforced with an injection-molded composite support bracket. The part provides an excellent stiffness/weight ratio required for durability while reducing mass 4 lb / vehicle and yielding a small cost savings. Predictive engineering with advanced fiber-orientation modeling was used to properly set up the injection mold.
