Automotive

The automotive industry has a number of opportunities for 3D printing. For automotive and motor technology, 3D printing is very suitable for making the optimal part with strong and accurate (material) properties. In the automotive industry we also see 3D printing in customized products.

3D printing is already used in the development of cars. For example, for the design of a prototype, scale model or an interior component. Additive Manufacturing helps the automotive industry in spare part management. The inventory (spare parts) is digitized and produced and distributed on demand which leads to low inventory costs.

The benefits of 3D printing and automotive:

• Failure cost reduction
• Prototyping
• Fast delivery
• On-demand production
• Production in your own country
• Low inventory costsphoto: Oceanz prints functional parts en prototypes for Donkervoort (NDA).
