MATERIAL LIBRARY
imat-uve ensures a harmonic interplay of materials and surfaces under demanding conditions
A material is not just a resource used to manufacture products and components for vehicle interiors – it conveys emotions and values, triggers memories and provokes reactions. The interplay of design, material and surfaces affects our perception of internal spaces. The look, feel, sound and smell – our senses absorb everything consciously or subconsciously and take an aversion to it or generate a feeling of well-being. imat-uve supports its customers at the interfaces between design, engineering and production along the entire value-added chain from the idea to the finished product, locally and globally. Our extensive library of innovative materials and surfaces, coupled with our years of experience in testing and developing materials and components, puts the service provider in an excellent position for assessing materials – not just from a design perspective but also in terms of their suitability for use in technical applications.

Our services along the value chain
We test your material for the automotive industry. In our certified laboratories, we fulfill and test according to the most important standards of the industry. For example, we carry out emissions and odor tests (VDA 278, VDA 270, DIN 75201), burning tests or the Martindale test (DIN EN ISO 12947-2).
By digitizing the original material samples using state-of-the-art scanner technology, the material textures can be used in development for real-time VR environments as well as photorealistic renderings for marketing purposes. This saves time and money by eliminating the need to create various prototypes or photo shoots. The material can be simulated on standard 3D models of auto components or applied to a proprietary CAD product model. All texture maps needed for a realistic representation of the material are transmitted via secure download or hard disk.
imat-uve offers exclusive workshops as part of the imat think space. The aim is to develop a concept to a specific objective from the OEM or Tier 1 supplier with the help of different methodologies, materials, pictures, colors and accessories, and to present the results in a self-designed moodboard. imat think space workshops are conducted in an exceptional design loft in the historic “Monforts Quartier”. The creative atmosphere ensures free thoughts and inspirations for constructive work.
