Polestar is committed to redefining automotive design for the electric age by exploring innovative and more sustainable solutions at the design stage.

 

Innovation for sustainability with IMSE

 

IMSE components are manufactured using a clean additive manufacturing process. Because a single IMSE part is often capable of fulfilling the functions of multiple parts that are conventionally assembled, designing for IMSE can reduce complexity and optimize global supply chains.

 

By seamlessly integrating electronic components such as lamps and controllers into thin, fitted plastic structures, IMSE technology makes advanced lighting functions and human machine interfaces (HMI) more sustainable and eye-catching.

 

Drive design innovation through OEM IMSE licensing

 

OEM corporation can leverage TactoTek’s IMSE technology license to enhance their design differentiation capabilities. With its single-piece molding process, IMSE technology simplifies construction, significantly reduces component weight, and reduces the need for PCB components and negative impact on the environment. TactoTek’s technology transfer resource suite enables Polestar designers to apply the full range of IMSE technology capabilities, including decorative functions and brand lighting capabilities, to their latest designs.

 

Jussi Harvela, CEO of TactoTek, said: “Polestar’s licensing of IMSE technology is a testament to the significant sustainability benefits of the technology – our technology can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50%, thus seamlessly integrating into Polestar’s vision of building sustainable solutions and delivering superior experiences to our customers.”
