A case study of full-electric design language for the current automotive industry.

This double-figure aesthetic component features a fully transparent lens piece and an inner LED matrix, hence a fully exposed joint, ideal to be welded via our laser technology.

Furthermore, the aesthetic integrity is guaranteed by the soft-contact approach of such technology, as well as the choice in materials for the contact interface.

The welded parts are registered and monitored via dedicated presence sensors and serial code readers.
