'improve blending' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'of metal and resin' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates anagramming the letters (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'metal' after 'resin' is 'resinmetal'.
'resinmetal' is an anagram of 'STREAMLINE'.
