DONE Lab - Advanced Manufacturing of Products and Tools emerges as a result of the partnership between University of Minho and Bosch Car Multimedia S.A., having been founded in the framework of the Programme INNOVATIVE CAR-HMI in November 28, 2016.
The strategic approach of DONE Lab encompasses three main areas: 1) digital manufacturing; 2) engineering design; and 3) research and innovation. Such diversified fields of expertise enabled DONE Lab to become a supporter for industrial advancements and competitiveness in terms of organization and productivity, accelerating the launch of new solutions for products, systems and tools.

P33 - Lightweight Electronic Enclosures
The Project Lightweight Electronic Enclosures has the main objective to replace metallic components by polymeric/composite components in housings to accommodate electronic systems, fulfilling all electrical, thermal, and mechanical requirements that guarantee its good performance during the entire life of an automobile.
As alternative (or even unconventional in several aspects) production processes combined with the state-of-the-art/innovative materials, it is expected that the result of the project will promote weight reduction, cost reduction and production time, and even the reduction of development time, reducing this way the time to market.
Based on specific tools and methodologies (LCA - Life Cycle Assessment and LCCA - Life Cycle Cost Analysis), the vectors of environmental impact and costs will be assessed considering the product's life cycle as a whole.
