How additive manufacturing can improve productivity and promote innovation in the automotive industry

2022/06/09

Additive manufacturing (AM) and its application can promote innovation and help automobile manufacturers keep up with the current pace of the industry. By applying additive manufacturing technology to product development and production strategies, automobile manufacturers can combine high-value transformative applications with high levels of productivity to produce innovative components and products while maintaining high profit margins. This article shows how additive manufacturing can help automakers balance innovation with productivity. Help you understand how piocreat's recent progress in additive manufacturing technology and equipment makes it possible, and how specific solutions will help manufacturers make profits from additive manufacturing and meet the most urgent challenges in the automotive industry.

Transformative applications
Standard based material innovation will continue to promote additive manufacturing for end use in the automotive industry.
Automotive manufacturing applications require the use of materials designed and tested in accordance with standards to meet various needs, such as heat resistance, chemical exposure, and long-term environmental stability.
Comprehensive process flow, parameter development and material testing, combined with applied professional knowledge, jointly promote the development of additive materials that meet the quality and production requirements of the automotive industry.



UL94 V0 flame retardant black plastic with thermal deformation temperature greater than 150C is suitable for stable and long-term components, such as

brackets, covers and fixed components.

The stereoscopic light curing resin with long-term environmental stability is suitable for large-size plastic parts with strict mechanical properties.

Fiber reinforced plastic with excellent rigidity, high strength to weight ratio and high heat resistance is an ideal choice for the housing and housing, fixture and fixture in the engine hood.

Durable polypropylene (PP) material has excellent fluid resistance and chemical resistance; Easy to weld to assemble large parts.

Key challenges
Today's automotive companies can use additive manufacturing to address key challenges, such as surface experience, lean manufacturing, robust components, and newly designed systems. Each challenge requires simultaneous progress in productivity and innovation, which requires the progress of additive technology and automotive applications.
