3D printing applications in the automotive sector

Positioners and poka-yokes

Positioners are very commonly used objects and 3D printing is playing an increasing role in them. In industry they fulfil the same function as they do for the end consumer. They are simple supports to precisely fix an object that will be involved in some stage of production.

Tooling

In all companies, tools are necessary for the development of professional activity. With 3D printing you can design and manufacture all kinds of tools, parts and mechanisms that can help you in your day-to-day work, in a much cheaper and faster way.

Robotics accessories

In the automotive sector, 3D printing is used to create robotics components, which can be custom-designed to fit the specific needs of the robot or project in question. In addition, 3D printing allows the creation of prototypes for design testing and verification prior to mass production.

Quality control

Additive manufacturing offers the possibility to produce precise and detailed miniature or full-scale parts, which can be used for a variety of evaluation and testing applications in terms of precision, quality and durability in the automotive sector.

Industrial prototyping

Additive manufacturing enables rapid and accurate prototyping of a wide variety of mechanical parts and machine components, such as gears, brackets, housings and other components, which can accelerate the product design and development process.

UltiMaker S7 Pro Bundle

The UltiMaker S7 Pro Bundle consists of three elements: the UltiMaker S7 printer, the Air Manager and the Material Station. This powerful industrial productivity solution accelerates the pace of manufacturing, increases flexibility and enables new demanding applications with an expanded range of materials.

Thought3D Drywise In-Line Filament Dryer

This filament dryer takes the guesswork out of 3D printing hygroscopic materials. It pre-treats your filament and brings it to the best printing conditions before 3D printing can begin. An in-line drying design ensures that long 3D prints are always printed with uniform material dried in the best printing conditions.

Smart Materials 3D NYLON spool

Smartfil NYLSTRONG consists of a filler-reinforced Nylon (PA6), which gives it mechanical, thermal, abrasion resistance and high stiffness, ideal for a wide variety of industrial applications.

UltiMaker TPU spool

Thermoplastic polyurethane is a flexible material, ideal for applications that demand chemical resistance and the qualities of rubber and plastic. For a seamless 3D printing experience, we have designed UltiMaker TPU to make printing easier and faster than other TPU filaments on the market.
