Project Background

The automotive industry has always been an outstanding representative of high-end manufacturing, thanks to its high degree of technical complexity and integrated project management. RPWORLD is a reliable supplier/subcontractor for Tier I and Tier II projects.

A world-renowned automobile manufacturer had to produce 60 units of interior decoration parts for their new cars. Requirements included instrument panel, centre console, door panels and others. The first batch of 20 units had to be delivered in 4 weeks, while the remainder needed to be completed in 8 weeks. Traditional injection moulding would require 12 to 14 weeks of development time and millions of dollars.
