DIGITAL INVENTORY AND ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING IN AUTOMOTIVE
With Rapid Prototyping, automotive manufacturers are able to produce working prototypes in a couple of hours, instead of several days or weeks. Designers can test more frequently at a reduced cost, eventually leading to a faster production and better-end products.
Customization of vehicles has been a popular rising trend in the automotive industry, however an expensive one. With additive manufacturing, traditional machining, molding and tooling costs are eliminated, reducing costs and lead-time.
Reducing weight while maintaining material properties is a principle goal for automotive manufacturers. 3D printing offers lightweight materials with similar properties and weight reducing tactics such as creating hollow pieces, ultimately enhancing the driving experience and improving fuel efficien ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
