This top-ranking automotive supplier was designing an insert for the map-case pocket of each door on the 2009 Audi Q5, a compact SUV. In some cases, they can reduce the number of manufacturing steps or allow parts to be combined via overmolding.

Case Study However, in this case, designers wanted to reduce the thickness of the part wall significantly to achieve a relative weight saving of 90 percent.
