Take, for instance, using FEA for a metal-to-plastic conversion. FEA allows a nonlinear analysis in plastic part design that provides a more accurate representation and can help to eliminate potential field failures or what might be unanticipated part performance.

They completed the metal-to-plastics transition in less than four months – bringing production in-house while using the same tooling. In 2013, the Mars LED assembly was honored as a finalist in the annual Automotive Innovation Awards competition of the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE).

While most batteries are traditionally metal-based, there are significant advantages to using polymers (plastics) instead, especially with recent advancements in polymer science that make using these materials in electric vehicle batteries possible. Design and Processing Flexibility: The versatility of plastic opens up new avenues for battery design and integration within electric vehicles.
