Technology Advantages
Iterative Research and Development
Additive manufacturing has revolutionised R&D for vehicle manufacturers – increasingly being used to reduce development times, improve prototyping workflows and deliver innovative parts that would not be possible using traditional techniques.
Avoiding Supply Chain Disruption
Most volume car manufacturers use just-in-time manufacturing, where large quantities of parts arrive at the production line immediately before assembly to reduce the need for costly warehouse space. AM can facilitate this process to create production parts on-site, should there be disruptions to a manufacturer’s supply chain.
Customization in the Specialty
AM is being used to create custom brackets, spacers and grommets as well as complex, specialised, units made to the individual requirements of the purchaser.
Helping Automakers Pioneer in the Fast Lane
Additive manufacturing complements traditional technologies in an automotive manufacturing workflow and is transforming a variety of applications including creating replacement parts for vintage automobiles, prototyping parts for the latest automotive releases, and developing unique parts for one-of-a-kind creations.
Weight reduction
Additive manufacturing helps reduce the weight of aerospace components by printing more efficient geometries, topologically optimized and lattice structures that carve out significant amounts of unnecessary material.
