Project Description
​
AMS® was contacted to provide a highly technical product which included:
-
low voltage heat
-
multiple product design specifications
-
longevity for the abuse of day to day foot traffic,
-
integration into a high performance electric public transport vehicle
-
rapid and easy installation
Together with our client we designed a product to meet all the parameters. A prototype was produced and tested for durability in an independent lab. After 600,000 steps with a ski boot there was hardly any visible wear, which was a delight for our client.
The versatility of AMS® manufacturing allows for this specialized product to be produced in low quantities as requested by the client, which requires a re-tool for orders as small as one.
