General Motors Co.Carbon Corvette bumper beam featured on CW Magazine cover
Phenix City, AL – Vectorply carbon fabrics earned a prominent feature in the May 2020 edition of CompositesWorld Magazine.
The carbon, which is highlighted in the form of Shape Corp’s 2020 Corvette Stingray bumper beam, was also chosen for the cover photo on the leading composites industry publication.
In 2014, Vectorply joined forces with Shape Corp. to begin developing specialized carbon fabrics and laminate schedules for the automotive world’s first curved pultruded carbon fiber bumper beam. General Motors Co. made waves in the auto industry in July 2019 with the release of the highly anticipated Corvette Stingray and Shape’s innovative bumper beam has been notably featured in the composites industry since the release.
Along with the four-page story on the carbon fiber beam, CompositesWorld also created a sidebar detailing Vectorply’s involvement in the material development and selection. The sidebar can be viewed at the following link: Material choices for the Corvette rear bumper beam
