LEIMSA addresses the development of disruptive components for the interior of the vehicle of the future with purpose of following the market evolutive trends in the automotive industry and anticipate materialization.
In the results, will be integrated decorative elements and distinctive functionalities with the least possible operations, using emergent technologies in the mould (in-mould operations) and lightweight, such as In-Mould Decoration (IMD), In-Mould Labeling (IML), High Pressure Forming (HPF) and In-Mould Electronics (IME), for the development of intelligent and haptic surfaces, with attractive 3D seamless design and a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) that will be immersive and intuitive, centered in the user experience.
LEIMSA also aims at the capacitation of the consortium as well as the creation of robust value chain.

Final LEIMSA demonstrator and project video
The LEIMSA Project was presented at the Simoldes Tryout Center on October 4th during the final TechDay. The LEIMSA team worked hard and it was a proud moment to showcase the culmination of the consortium’s efforts in advancing innovation and technology within the automotive industry. The LEIMSA project represents a significant leap in the development of disruptive components for the interior of the vehicle of the future. The entire team is immensely grateful for the support, dedication and hard work that was needed to make the LEIMSA project a reality, especially during the final TechDay event. We could not have ...
Intermediate Demonstrator of LEIMSA
The second Milestone of the project was achieved in February 2023 with the construction and presentation of the intermediate demonstrator of the concept developed. This intermediary Demonstrator was constructed using several diferent technologies: IMD, IML, IME, traditional PCB construction and prototyping technologies. It is an impressive real size demonstrator of the L-console that will be assembled on the final demonstrator. This Demonstrator is functional and integrates a touch display, capacitive touch buttons, a capacitive slider, backlighting and haptic feedback as an excelent experience of a Lightweight and Seamless design on a future autonomous driving car.

Concept in Development and LEIMSA’s first iteration mockup
The first Milestone of the project was achieved in October 2021 with the construction and presentation of the first interaction mockup of the concept developed. This preliminary mokcup was constructed using several prototyping technologies at CEIIA and is an impressive real size demonstrator of the final concept. This Mockup is a result of several studies that takes into account the technologies that are being explored in the project and will be presented in the final concept. With this first milestone it has been possible to evaluate ergonomics aspects, UX and UI studies and the experience of a Lightweight and Seamless design ...
