The Main Application Directions Of Automobiles 3DP
The Advantages Of 3DP Compared To Traditional Automotive Manufacturing Processes?
- First of all, 3D printing has faster speeds, lower parts costs, and higher confidentiality. Using 3D printing technology, a conceptual model can be produced in a few hours or days, thereby helping OEMs and parts manufacturers to optimize the design and speed up the product concept verification process.
- Secondly, a variety of material choices, different mechanical properties, and precise functional prototyping allow the manufacturer to correct errors and improve the design at any time in the early stage, minimizing the cost of errors.
- In terms of tooling and fixtures, 3D printing technology provides a fast and accurate method, which greatly reduces the cost and time of tool production. As a result, automakers have rapidly improved their production capacity, efficiency and quality.
- For production tools, such as 3D printing applications such as water-soluble inner cores, carbon fiber wrapping, injection molding, etc., help companies realize rapid and small-batch tool customization, reduce costs, and shorten product time-to-market.
- Finally, in the manufacturing of end-use parts, 3D printing technology allows original equipment manufacturers and parts manufacturers to produce parts without delays, and can customize and produce durable end-use products for car manufacturers.
- The combination of 3D printing technology and traditional processes makes the production of some auto parts easier and more efficient, and solves the problem of small-batch customization by automakers, greatly reduces the cost of small-batch customization, and shortens the production cycle.
- At the same time, designers and engineers can optimize the design of parts and realize the creation and manufacture of organic shapes and complex geometric shapes such as hollow and negative stretch.
The Application of Car Parts 3D Printing
-
Powertrain: The use of 3D printing technology to produce conceptual models and functional prototypes can help automotive designers and engineers verify the design of clutches and other engine components in the early stages of product development. Compared with traditional methods, 3D printing technology can greatly save design verification time and minimize the cost of design errors. European sports car manufacturer Lamborghini used 3D printing to make engine engine pipes for its sports cars, achieving the creation of complex geometric structures in a very short time.
-
Chassis: Production and assembly tools and functional testing are two common applications of 3D printing in the development and production of automotive chassis systems. Lamborghini also uses engineering-grade thermoplastics to make high-strength automotive chassis prototypes, and uses high-performance engineering plastics to customize assembly tools.
-
Exterior Decoration: Leading companies in the automotive industry use 3D printing technology, including fixtures, end-use parts and functional prototypes, to simplify the production cycle of automotive exteriors, reduce the weight of automotive manufacturing tools, and reduce production costs. The scope of application Including bumpers, fenders, car lights and car logos and many other automotive exterior parts. For example, 3D printing has become an indispensable technical means in the BMW R&D cycle. The company's tooling and fixture department uses 3D printing to produce tooling and fixtures for automobile assembly and testing. Through lightweight design, production efficiency is greatly improved.
-
Interior: 3D printing can print a variety of materials with different mechanical properties at one time. This feature is widely used by manufacturers in the product design and R&D evaluation of automotive interior components, including instrument panels and air conditioning panels. Parts composed of various materials and processes, such as air fans, steering wheels, and automobile joysticks, can all be prototyped using 3D printing. Compared with traditional manufacturing methods, on the one hand, it can reduce design costs; on the other hand, it can accurately restore the shape and material characteristics of the product, so that all aspects can be evaluated and quickly modified, thereby accelerating the time to market.
