There is significant opportunity to reduce noise and vibration in manufactured components of automobiles such as frames, door panels, steering columns, liners, "cockpits," windows, etc. SmartSkin can offer engineered noise and vibration solutions to suppliers to the auto manufacturers as well as to automotive designers. Because SmartSkin's Technology provides engineered solutions that are resident in the skin or surface of the component instead of added to the component, the SmartSkin designed application may provide the added benefit of weight and/or volume reduction to an industry enamored with reducing weight to meet federally mandated fuel efficiency requirements.
