Magna Exteriors

Magna Exteriors brings together design, materials science and technology to help its customers boldly imagine and create the car of the future. A leader in lightweighting and composites, Magna researches, develops and implements new materials to help automakers lower emissions and improve fuel economy without sacrificing styling and performance.

This expertise is evident in several market-leading innovations, such as a carbon fiber hood, a visible active grille shutter, a carbon fiber grille opening reinforcement, a plastic skid plate with a silver metallic look and many more; all of which won innovation awards from the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE). These examples have been implemented for high-volume, production programs across the world and represent Magna’s constant drive to innovate and its strong partnerships with auto manufacturers worldwide.

Magna is also investigating new applications for lightweight materials throughout the vehicle, including the current development of a carbon fiber subframe that weighs 34 percent less than a steel subframe.

The Magna Exteriors portfolio of products includes access systems such as liftgates, exterior trim, modular systems, front-end modules including fascia, active aerodynamic systems and other lightweight structural components for automotive, commercial truck and other industrial markets.

No matter what the car of the future looks like, whether it has a driver or not, it will most certainly have an exterior, and Magna innovation will lead the way.

X-Rite

X-Rite is going beyond color to tackle the challenge of capturing and managing appearance. Total Appearance Capture (TAC™) allows you to capture the exact visual characteristics of materials and enables an unmatched level of realism in product virtualization. Traditionally, capture and rendering of complex materials such as special effects paints, transparent plastics, meshes and synthetic fabrics have been time-consuming and inaccurate. With TAC, you are be able to create physically-correct, virtual material libraries of any material used in the automotive workflow. The materials can be accessed across the entire product workflow, from design, through production and quality control.
