German carmaker Daimler AG has developed a manufacturing process for the series production of very light trim parts for motor vehicles that combines injection and compressions molding. The so-called KIS technology (derived from the German for ‘consolidation in injection molding tool’) combines intelligent compression and injection-molding processes to achieve weight reductions of up to 50 percent with suitable materials.
