The
contents of this
three day in-depth
automotive seminar
will provide
information on
material selection,
design procedures,
processing
techniques, and the
assembly methods
required when
designing with
plastics in the
automotive field.
Attendees will focus
on what to expect
from a polymeric
material and discuss
in detail how to
make the design
process as easy as
possible and fully
comply with FMVSS,
for Hybrid, Fuel
