Recently, much attention has been paid to achievements in series car body developments incorporating very large (Aluminium) castings, taking the complexity and functional part integration of such “Gigacastings” to new levels, with some voices regarding these achievements as a quantum leap, opening up a new era of car body engineering, and others still remaining sceptical regarding the performance or the economic viability of such parts. Automotive Circles new conference Car Body Parts – from development to production aims at critically analysing and discussing specific progress in all relevant processes that are being used, or show a high potential of being used, in industrial car body part manufacturing.
