Five Takeaways from Shapeways\u2019 webinar with\nForward AM<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our recent webinar <\/a>with Forward AM<\/a>, the BASF printing solutions brand, showcased the many exciting ways that 3D printing is reshaping the future of the automotive industry. Here are five takeaways from \u201cDriving Advances in Automotive\u201d that highlight what\u2019s underway and what\u2019s ahead for 3DP and the automotive industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The role of 3D printing in this sector is exhibiting Tesla-like acceleration. According to 3dpbm Research, expected revenues for traditional automotive parts produced by additive manufacturing should grow from $2.6 trillion in 2020 to $15 trillion by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The automotive industry continues to be a leader in use of 3DP<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As far as the automotive industry in Detroit is\nconcerned, 3D printing isn\u2019t new.  \u201cThe\nautomotive space has been using 3D printing for a long time, probably as long\nas any industry,\u201d said Jeremy Vos, business development manager for automotive\nand aerospace, at BASF Forward AM, North America. \u201cToday, automotive remains\none of the major users and therefore is far ahead when it comes to embracing\nand deploying the technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Wohlers Associates\u2019 \u201cThe State\nof 3D printing 2020\u201d survey, automotive represents the top user segment of\nadditive manufacturing. The technology has been showing its transformative\npowers in different applications. The reason is simple: making vehicles is a\nvery capital-intensive business with millions of dollars spent each year on the\ndesign, development and delivery of the latest-and-greatest things on four\nwheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3D printing has proven it can improve the\noverall speed and agility of manufacturing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forward AM\u2019s Vos cited the example of giant\nautomaker Daimler, which utilized 3D printing to accelerate and validate the\ndesign process necessary for a new engine bracket to meet a very strict\ndeadline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Vos, about a dozen brackets were\nneeded to complete noise vibration testing. Opting for traditional injection\nmolding would have required months of preparation and wait time. Instead, 3D\nprinting enabled predictable simulation results that led to expedited delivery\nof functional prototypes that accurately represented how the injection-molded part\nwould function. Shortening development time and iteration steps permitted the\ncompany to perform driving tests and meet the target for its new vehicle\nlaunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Functional prototyping and production parts are gaining traction with 3DP <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For several decades, automakers have used 3DP\nto create design prototypes for proof-of-concept and\/or testing. Parts then can\nbe refined into functional versions that meet the auto industry\u2019s strict technological\nreadiness levels (TRLs) and form-and-fit tolerances. As 3DP has proven in every\nother industry segment, the technology is unbeatable when the task calls for\nrapid design innovations and part iterations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But prototyping is just the tip of the spear\nin driving 3DP adoption in automotive.  Increasing\nreliance on 3DP for manufacturing production parts helps automakers improve\ntheir materials usage while reducing scrap and wasted parts. The growing impact\nof 3DP also empowers auto manufacturers to reduce their carbon footprint\u2014an\ninitiative that all businesses need to address\u2014while attending to noise and air\npollution excesses. According to Vos, 3D-printed parts made of thermoplastic\nurethane (TPU) that become surplus can be recycled and reground for use in other\napplications\u2014a welcome \u201cgreen\u201d upgrade over decades-old practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Customization & 3DP: Only limited by your imagination<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The market for designers and providers of\ncustomized parts and accessories is very competitive and crowded. Nevertheless,\nautomakers increasingly understand that embracing customization will reap the further\nbenefit of customers\u2019 increased satisfaction and loyalty to their brands. If\ncustomization is the key, 3DP printing is the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine 3D-printed seating options that\nspecifically cater to drivers\u2019 and passengers\u2019 orthopedic needs. Special-fitting\nheadrests and seats can be produced using 3D-printed foams. 3DP excels in\nproviding intricate, customized latticework structures that best address applications\nfor heating and cooling capabilities as well as lumbar support\u2014all of which\nimprove occupants\u2019 driving experience. \u201cWhat we can do with the combination of\ninnovative design, lattice structures and 3D printing is quite amazing,\u201d said\nVos. \u201cYou can customize for hard or soft, depending on different points, while\nbuilding for durability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aftermarket for 3D-printed gear also is heating up. Shapeways has worked with 67 Designs<\/a>, a designer of off-road products, to deliver tens of thousands of its highly durable iPad mounting devices to customers all over the world. 67 Designs created the in-vehicle accessory and Shapeways then printed prototypes that led to the debut of the MagMount G3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Gigantic parts warehouses will no longer be necessary; print parts instead<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vehicle manufacturers and their multiple\nparts manufacturing partners must maintain gigantic, multi-location warehouses\nto store a seemingly endless supply of parts and accessories. The promise of\n3DP lessens this burden with its ability to replace or at least reduce much of\nthat square footage in the name of a digital inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a part is needed, instead of searching\nthe aisles and racks, a digital file is called up and the request is printed on\ndemand. In this vein, 3D printers also deliver heightened degrees of supply\nchain optimization while eliminating expensive tooling costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only does 3DP reduce the physical need\nfor costly and vast warehousing, the process can be set up virtually anywhere,\nputting parts acquisition much closer to the end-customer, reducing time-to-delivery.\n3DP also represents a great opportunity for owners of vintage or rare vehicles,\nwhere parts may have limited availability or are permanently out-of-stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Down the road: fully 3D-printed vehicles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, 3DP is\npoised to be the biggest change in car production since Henry Ford debuted his moving\nassembly line in 1913. While the concept of 3D printing an entire vehicle may\nsound like science fiction, someday it will be commonplace. There are enormous changes\nunderway in the automotive market as traditional dealerships no longer are seen\nas the only game in town as an increasing number of consumers are buying\nvehicles online or from non-traditional outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time,\nthere is relentless competition among auto manufacturers to deliver electronic\nvehicles that are safer and smarter as well more lightweight and energy\nefficient. 3DP\u2019s brilliance in creating honeycomb-style parts goes a long way\ntoward making vehicles lighter and therefore more energy efficient to operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swedish manufacturer Koenigsegg<\/a> has made some 300 sports cars with a vast number of parts that were 3D-printed at its own in-house facility. Eventually 3DP can make it possible for all sorts of companies to enter the field to compete with anyone from Ford and General Motors to Tesla and McLaren. Buckle up, it will be a wild ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
