Advanced hot stamping light weight applications through BIW co-development

摘要

Gestamp, leader in hot stamping technology, works as a global development partner in close collabdration with OEMs in order to promote a safer and lighter car. Indeed, hot stamping technology allows weight saving thanks to thickness reduction. It is possible to go even further in mass saving thanks to advanced technologies such as in-die soft zones, flex laser soft zones, remote laser welding, one-piece door ring, new press hardening grades and processes. When optimized through co-development, it can offer the best in terms of lightweight and performances.
