With so many makes and model vehicles on the market, developing new wheels and tires that properly fit new cars and trucks is a complicated process. Getting access to new vehicles or developing durable, low-cost prototypes can help manufacturers to shorten the production time, create improved products and get to market faster.
Wheel and tire manufacturers are invited to a webinar on August 18 at 1:00 p.m. (PDT) to learn about the resources, high-tech tools and equipment available to them as a SEMA member through the SEMA Garage.
Moderated by Mike Lusso of Hennessey Industries, the webinar will feature the SEMA Garage team sharing the latest information on:
- Measuring Sessions: Learn how you can get your hands on new vehicle models from automakers for product-development purposes.
- 3-D Printing Capabilities: Learn how you can print a prototype of your product at a low cost, and eliminate costly changes before mass production begins.
- Tech Transfer: Discover how you can access CAD files from OEMs to develop high-quality parts for wheel and tire fitment.
- ADAS: Lean about ADAS systems’ impact on the wheel and tire segment, and find out what services will be available through the new SEMA Garage in Detroit.
