…heat shield cover for the air intake manifold on Honda’s 2023 CRV model. Annual production volume was 350,000 parts per year, and the required cycle time was less than 30 seconds per part. Not only did the project require high-volume production with fast cycle times, it also needed to minimize human interaction with the parts as they came off the molding machine. Once the molding process was complete, the next steps were to have four compression limiters installed on each part for joint integrity and 3M Thinsulate welded to the inside of the part for heat reduction. And instead of…
