OCTOBER 1989

On the occasion of the "Third International Plastics Conference", organized by the Turin Industrial Union on 4/7 October 1989, Stola s.p.a. was involved in a joint project together with Dea, Prime Computervision, Jobs, Tea, Sandretto and Comau.
The Turin Industrial Union, in collaboration with Fiat Auto and using their recently launched Fiat Tipo, wanted to present a report on the development of plastics in the automotive sector.
The Tipo was a high-volume production car and, besides the usual bumpers, included significant plastic components such as the tailgate and rear fenders.
The skill sets represented by the participating companies were described in detail throughout all the projects working phases, demonstrating technological integration in 9 points.
Style models, testing and scanning of style models, milling of master models, computer aided engineering, mold design and construction, moulding and assembly.
As we will see later, this conference proved to be an inspiration for the Stola company on the Fiat Punto project, in the development of the instrument panel from the model to the first set of moulds.
