A iPoint Systems Case Study
CARBOBRAKE sought to develop a high-performance brake caliper made from carbon-fiber-reinforced composites, a component with demanding thermomechanical and vibro-acoustic requirements. The customer's challenge was to optimize this complex design while also understanding its ecological impact. iPoint Systems was engaged to provide expertise in quantitative life cycle analysis for this project.
The solution implemented by iPoint involved conducting a comprehensive Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) to measure the product's carbon footprint, enabling CARBOBRAKE's developers to make ecologically informed decisions. By utilizing their expertise and the Umberto LCA software, iPoint provided the critical data needed to support the development of this innovative, sustainable automotive component.
