2035 BMW iX Ultimate Sustainability CMF

INTRODUCTION VIDEO
Greetings everyone! I am thrilled to present my newest project.
All was done for the ArtCenter College of Design 2023 Spring graduation show.

Please watch our introduction video before we dive into the details, and give us a sneak peek into what we have in store.

Regenerate to be Reborn

The BMW i Vision circular is a vision of 100% circularity in car manufacturing, where all raw materials used in a car can be reused.
Color + Material + Finish
The Form influence on COLOR? NO! Innovation of C+M+F enhances form
GROWING NATURE
Metal + Polymer 3D Printed Exterior with Minimum assembly
SOLUTION 1: Mono-materials makes it easier to regenerate the sources.
Solution 2: Non-dyed & Natural Colors can minimize chemical processes.
Solution 3: New assembly and disassembly methods allow cars to be recycled.
BMW will be regenerated for the better world.

Regenerate Resources without Finish

3D Printed Metal Technology
It uses only the exact amount needed in a precise way, so there's no need to carve or trim excess materials. As a result, there are exponentially fewer scraps. Experts say 3D printing in the construction industry can reduce waste by 95% or more.

Raw Copper Exterior: Imperfection to Personal Expression

Traditionally, raw copper has been praised for its strength and practicality. However, recent changes in user-centered design and the quest for personalization have altered the perception of copper. Today, raw copper offers individuals a unique opportunity to express themselves. Users can now explore various textures, finishes, and treatments, giving copper a distinct appearance that mirrors their experiences and preferences. This transformation goes beyond the utilitarian roots of raw copper, inviting users to truly immerse themselves and foster a deeper connection with the material.

CLOSE THE LOOP SOLUTIONS for Interior CMF

Incorporating mono materials in car manufacturing simplifies end-of-life recycling by allowing for easy separation of single-material components. This approach enhances sustainability, promoting efficient disassembly and reuse while reducing the environmental impact of the automotive industry.
Utilizing undyed or naturally dyed materials in manufacturing enhances recyclability by eliminating the complexities posed by artificial dyes. Also, it helps users to enjoy well-being touches while they are on their journey of ultimate sustainability iX.
Avoiding the use of glue during product assembly enhances recyclability by facilitating disassembly at the end of the product's lifecycle. Glue-free construction ensures that components can be separated and reused more effectively, contributing to a more sustainable and resource-efficient circular economy.
