Novel manufacture of low weight skin without chemical milling

 

The manufacture of door skins and panels with double curvature and low weight is traditionally done by stretch forming and chemical milling (etching) of sheets. The objective of this research topic is to develop production methods that do not require chemical milling. The objective is to reduce the environmental impact of manufacture (remove chemical etching), shorten lead-times for production and reduce production costs.
