The right material in the right place” sounds like a slogan—until you try to build it at volume.

This subframe uses steel plus aluminium plus #carbonfibre to reduce weight while still handling big off-road loads. And it needs fast production cycles and a repeatable joining approach for dissimilar materials.

That mix of requirements is exactly where “obvious” material selection can fall short. Good lightweighting usually comes from careful load-path thinking, pragmatic manufacturing decisions, and the discipline to test assumptions.

If you’re pushing weight out of a structure and the usual answers aren’t enough, #FarUKLtd can help.
