Given the industry interest in “Forged” carbon, with particular regard to the desirable aesthetic appearance, MCT was challenged by a leading UK OEM to explore the feasibility of delivering an affordable, repeatable and risk adverse solution for a forth coming program.
Having identified a couple of the material suppliers, with their support MCT developed a robust material and process that achieved the desired scope. MCT manufactured a varied number of sample components to the existing OEM specifications, covering process, visual and structural requirements, paint ability and critically all on a comparable or improved costing model.
