1963 Corvette Taillight Assembly
A complete program for a 1963 Corvette restoration taillight — design, quick-change-insert tooling, and finished assembly delivered as one engineered package.
Reproduce a 1960s lens form to an OE-equivalent finish at restoration-friendly volumes — without rebuilding a full tool every time the variant changes.
Designed an aluminum quick-change-insert mold so a single tool body services multiple lens variants. Owned the chain end-to-end: CAD geometry, mold rendering, tool build, run, and final assembly.
Finished taillight assemblies shipping to the program in low-volume runs — economically. The tool base remains available for additional variants without further capital cost.
A quick-change-insert tool program that takes the iconic 1963 Corvette taillight from CAD geometry through aluminum mold fabrication and into a finished, assembled lens. The build proves out M²’s end-to-end approach: one set of engineers carry the program from solid model to the part you can hold in your hand.
The quick-change mold base lets a single tool body produce multiple lens variants without re-cutting steel — the kind of capability that keeps low-volume restoration runs economical.
