This ABS plastic shock absorber is just one example of many ways to use SEMA's Rapid Prototyping Service to save time and money during product development.

The SEMA Technology Transfer Program is one of the most valuable SEMA manufacturer member benefits, offering exclusive access to more than 42,000 Chrysler, Ford, GM and Scion CAD factory data files, as well as rapid prototyping services that dramatically cut reverse engineering costs and product development cycles.

The SEMA Rapid Prototyping Service can produce an ABS plastic prototype of your design created at a substantially reduced, member-only rate, leading to earlier product validation by eliminating costly traditional casting molds or CNC programming.

Ready Ramp President Cord Bauer is a satisfied user of the Tech Transfer Rapid Prototype Service.

“For the price of a dinner for two, I can test and fine tune my products prior to opening molds, saving me thousands in tooling costs and months of development time. And the parts turn out better."

See the benefits for yourself in this one-and-a-half minute rapid prototyping video.

Save big on time and money—log onto www.sema.org/tech-transfer or call 909/396-0289 and ask for Oscar Muñoz (ext. 211) or Gary Pis (ext. 214).

Brenda Priddy's spy photo network caught new shots of the next Mercedes-Benz SL, here snow-testing nearly two years before its expected debut at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. The car’s classic layout is still visible even with heavy camouflage, and Priddy says the relatively long front and rear overhangs, along with a retractable metal roof, will remain key features. New to the SL will be an upright front grille designed to accomodate new pedestrian-protection rules in the European Union.

Unlike today’s model, which is built in Bremen, Germany, the next generation will be built in Stuttgart, partly helping to save jobs endangered by Mercedes-Benz's plan to outsource production of the C-class to the United States.

	SEMA is urging Virginia lawmakers to reject a bill aimed at banning aftermarket exhaust systems.

A bill to ban the sale of “any aftermarket exhaust system component” that would cause the vehicle to produce “excessive or unusual noise” has been introduced in the Virginia House of Delegates. SEMA has urged lawmakers to reject the bill, which was the subject of a hearing before the House Transportation Committee.

SEMA recommended that Virginia adopt reasonable noise decibel limits for modified exhaust systems which can be verified through an easy-to-administer test standard.

In California for example, a SEMA-supported provision is made for the testing of vehicle exhaust noise to a standard adopted by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to an established noise limit of 95 decibels (SAE J1169). To date this procedure has been enacted in California, Washington state, Maine and Montana. Follow this link to learn more about the bill.
