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.
Unity 3D
Unity is the creator of the world’s most widely-used real-time 3D (RT3D) development platform, giving developers around the world the tools to create rich, interactive 2D, 3D, VR and AR experiences for the automotive, AEC, film, and games industries — and beyond.
More than 80% of the world’s leading automotive manufacturers are currently using Unity to revolutionize their vehicle design workflows, deliver immersive training applications, create visually stunning, interactive customer experiences, and train autonomous vehicles. Automakers are harnessing Unity’s rapid prototyping, extensibility, and real-time rendering power to define and create the vehicles of the tomorrow.
Our dedicated automotive team along with our 800+ person engineering team keep Unity at the bleeding-edge of technology by working alongside partners such as Facebook, Google, Magic Leap, Microsoft, and Oculus to ensure optimized support for the latest releases and platforms.
Unity currently powers more than 60% of all AR/VR experiences, and experiences made with Unity reach nearly 3 billion devices worldwide, and were installed 24 billion times in the last 12 months.
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.
