Modern computer simulations make it possible to accurately digitally represent objects and the impacts they may be subjected to. This method finds excellent application especially in the development of products that, by virtue of their purpose, must have high strength. At Knauf Industries, it is used on a daily basis in the design and development of modern transport packaging made of foamed EPP and EPS plastics.

The Euro 7 standard is one of the most anticipated legislations in the automotive industry. It has long been controversial because of its very stringent vehicle emission limits, which for the first time take into account, for example, dusting during brake pad abrasion. For internal combustion cars, it could mean an even faster recall.

In recent years, automotive recalls have become almost standard. However, such situations should not happen – they are nothing but unnecessary losses for manufacturers and an additional burden for suppliers. Can this be prevented? What are the key success factors and how to increase efficiency in the automotive industry?

DFM, reverse engineering, feasibility studies, cost analysis – these are some of the methods that can be used to improve car production process and manufacturing of vehicle components. It’s worth finding out how to eliminate problems in this field while saving time and money.

Plastic parts are most often manufactured using the method of serial production. This is one of three types of production distinguished by the volume of components produced. What distinguishes it from the other types, i.e. mass production and single-unit production?
