The LRX concept demonstrates Land Rover’s seriousness about sustainability with new technologies, lightweight design and environmentally-responsible materials, making it an ideal project for Biresin® M72 polyurethane (PU) modelling paste.

“The LRX program demanded a one piece show car model to support PR activities whilst the core Show car was being manufactured.
The timing was extremely tight for such a high profile model and there were also constraints in terms of weight. Using the M72 PU paste system we were able to undercut a low density foam core buck and deposit a layer of paste that was finally milled.
This then progressed through a full show car paint process with better quality of surface without joint lines.
The final result was an extremely credible model produced in a very short time that toured a number of venues to raise awareness of the program.
In line with our company sustainability initiatives, by using the M72 PU paste system we were able to reduce waste to land fill by machining less waste than using a traditional tooling board process“
