Utilizing rapid prototyping, we create prototypes for various interior vehicle components, including the steering wheel, dashboard, and console. This approach allows for versatile testing of these parts. For instance, we can assess the grip of steering wheels, verify the color of dashboards, and evaluate the wear on consoles post-usage. The data collected from these evaluations offers valuable insights into potential design adjustments.
We prototype various exterior components, including bumpers, headlights, tail lights, and door handles. These prototypes undergo rigorous safety testing to ensure their performance. This includes assessing how bumpers withstand simulated crashes, evaluating the visibility and functionality of lights in low-light or rainy conditions, and testing the durability of door handles under repeated use. Additionally, safety tests like failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) are conducted to assess the risk of failure in both typical and extreme scenarios.
We prototype functional components such as air components, engine covers, and air filter housings, primarily focusing on their performance within the vehicle. These prototypes undergo testing to evaluate their functionality, particularly in high-temperature environments generated by the engine.
