Aptera is using the funds raised through its Accelerator program to continue to machine dies for the forging of CF SMC and Fiberglass SMC frame and body parts at CPC Group in Modena, Italy. The dies are being machined from massive blocks of high-strength steel, each body panel requiring both a positive and a negative die.
