Program Overview
ETCS delivered complex 1st-row seating components using large stamping dies designed for challenging part geometry. The program covered three key structural seating parts — Upper Cross Member, Lower Cross Member, and Side Members — each requiring purpose-built progressive stamping dies, precision checking fixtures, and full dimensional validation.
The parts were successfully stamped, validated against checking fixtures, and bought off for the OEM, supporting production readiness and program launch.
