- Objective
European Automotive industry constitutes one of the largest and dominant industries worldwide. In order to preserve its competitiveness and to give response to the rising legislative, political, social and market demands, the car makers are forced to :
- Reduce manufacturing production cost ;
- Short the product development times ;
- Meet customer demands ;
- Improve fuel economy and reduce pollution Compounding those challenges is an effort to reduce the delivery lead times associated with producing a built to order vehicle.
The key factor to success lies in a cluster strategy that integrates the suppliers in the search and implementation of new solutions. As a consequence the players at the production level are compelled to build up cost effective and flexible processes able to meet customer demands and to short the product cycle. PROFORM is a research project that brings car manufacturers, component, tooling and equipment suppliers together with universities and research institutes for a new engineering and manufacture concept development, based in built to order system for reducing lead time and costs in producing high technology transport components for vehicle bodies.
The breakthough concept is based on the integration of three emerging forming technologies (roll forming RF, laser forming LF and electromagnetic forming EMF) in the frame of a simultaneous engineering and production strategy and exploiting the new capabilities in the area of new and multifunctional materials :
- Micro technologies for rolls control to allow the production of complex components by RF ;
- Ultra conductor coils and nano-reinforced resins to increase EMF efficiency ;
- Coating/film/laminate steel to allow the production of multifunctional steel complex shape by EMF.
