    CAPROCAST: Technology for manufacturing lightweight structural components for the automotive industry

    Caprocast

    PROBLEM/OPPORTUNITY

    One of the major challenges of the automotive industry is the lightweighting of vehicles. “Reducing vehicle weight by 10% means a 7% reduction in consumption and consequently in CO2 emissions”.

    The sector is demanding a technology capable of manufacturing recyclable structural components and responding to its main requirement: cycle times that align with production needs.
