Structural AGS w/Integrated Loose Layer Construction


This, possibly the largest 2-shot AGS in production today, was designed with an integrated locating and attaching system for consistent fit between the grille and headlamps eliminating the need for FEM assembly, dunnage and shipping. Savings are estimated at $5 per part system, additional $16 inside cost in addition to $45 markup and shipping, $1 in labor by eliminating 4 fasteners, and inplant tooling avoidance of $2 Million for a new cell and assembly tooling. A 1 lb weight savings was achieved, plus an additional 3 lb avoidance over a metal/plastic hybrid assembly.
