BIW & BODY DEVELOPMENT

BIW & Body development : 

 

We develop the body in white (BIW), doors, and liftgates, right from early concept sketches to series production support, meticulously covering every crucial phase. Our Layout Department works in close collaboration with the design department, ensuring seamless translation of your vision into reality.

​

Material mastery matters. We leverage expertise from our "Material Testing & Simulation" and "Composites" competence centers to guide you towards the optimal materials for your needs, whether it's hot-stamped steels for exceptional strength, lightweight aluminum alloys for agility, or cutting-edge composites for innovative design.

​

Construction techniques are our playground. We command a vast arsenal of modern methods, including monocoque structures for rigidity, multi-material designs for optimized weight distribution, stressed skin technology for torsional stiffness, and space frame architectures for unmatched agility. Through skillful application, we help you achieve the ideal balance of strength, weight, and performance.

​

Joining your vision, piece by piece. From precision-engineered screws and rivets to state-of-the-art welding and soldering techniques, we possess a mastery of cutting-edge joining processes. Whether it's structural adhesives for robust bonding or innovative hemming methods for seamless aesthetics, we ensure each component integrates flawlessly, creating a body that's not just strong, but truly beautiful.
