According to the latest automotive industry statistics, lightweight materials market size, in terms of value, is projected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 14.40% to reach $206.8 Billion by 2019.

The automotive industry is currently witnessing a widespread adoption of advanced technologies to increase fuel efficiency, reduce emission levels, and enhance the driving dynamics of the vehicle. As a result, scaling up multi-material joining technologies & advanced forming solutions and driving down the associated costs is becoming one of the key priorities in an industry driven by volumes.

As the industry is embracing developments in new lightweight materials, OEMs are racing to find appropriate manufacturing technologies to reduce cycle time and improve component quality to deliver the next generation of lightweight vehicles. From advancements in multi-material joining & forming to surface treatment, machine learning, additive manufacturing, materials development & manufacturing implications and more, OEMs must remain ahead of the learning curve to remain competitive in the industry.

THE 2017 EDITION OF LIGHWEIGHT VEHICLE MANUFACTURING SUMMIT RETURNS TO DETROIT IN FEBRUARY

Bursting at the seams with OEM case studies embedded within the strategic context, the detailed brand new agenda for 2017 has been developed in close collaboration with an expert advisory board comprising of lightweighting & technology experts from GM, Toyota and Ford.

From mixed material joining, corrosion mitigation & paintability to quality control, machine learning, composite manufacturing and 3D printing, case studies and technical sessions will deliver a competitive edge to manufacturing experts offering them solutions to their evolving needs.

Each presentation will focus on driving down costs and improving scalability of new manufacturing technologies to ease the adoption of lightweight materials into mass-produced vehicle architectures.
