Bumper facebars formed from high strength aluminum sheet provide the design engineer with a cost effective way to achieve styling flexibility with substantial weight savings. Several prototype programs have defined candidate alloys, manufacturing sequences, and important part and tooling design guidelines for forming bumpers from aluminum sheet. The results of these programs are summarized. Four case histories are discussed.
