... PLANS FOR 1996 The objective of the 1996 plans was to mobilize the USCAR partners' manufacturing community through the formation of teams, propose projects, and develop a manufacturing technology road map. The objective for the latter part of the year was to identify manufacturing technologies that would improve the global competitiveness of the partners and would meet the technology needs of Goal 3 vehicles.

... In this last year, the PNGV has made significant progress in fabricating precision ceramic components suitable for the extremely high inlet temperatures required for the Goal 3 turbine-engine application. Most recently a new gelcast technology was developed that allows parts to be made in 2 percent of the traditional time.

... The committee believes that the manufacturing team needs to take a stronger initiative in identifying and pursuing new approaches to manufacturing technologies to accomplish the significant cost reductions that are going to be needed to achieve Goal 3. The committee fully supports the funding requests associated with initiating and continuing the efforts of the project teams.
