In order to promote the global process

Recently, Continental AG, a manufacturing company in the automotive industry headquartered in Hanover, Germany, opened an additive manufacturing center of excellence in Germany. The company said it plans to use the new center of excellence to promote and implement additive manufacturing in its manufacturing department.In addition to additive manufacturing technology, the Karben plant of Continental Engineering Services also has high-performance CNC machine tools, injection molding and laser welding systems, and the most advanced electronic manufacturing systems for printed circuit board assembly.

The combination of these different production equipment and testing facilities used in various environments creates an ideal innovation environment through the combination and verification of small-batch manufacturing technologies, and suitable manufacturing technologies and processes can be combined for each innovative product. .Here, engineers can perform3D scanning, Edit 3D graphics, and then use3D printingNew design.3D printingThe process reduces the production cost and shortens the production time.

3D printingBecause of its many advantages, it becomes more and more important. The establishment of this center of excellence in China is precisely in response to the increasing demand for additive manufacturing parts. With the mainland’s center of excellence in Karben, it is now able to test these manufacturing technology combinations, develop new processes and procedures, and promote production on a global scale to achieve greater industrialization.

Review

Continental is a German manufacturer in the transportation industry. The main products are tires, braking systems, body stability control systems, engine injection systems, tachometers, and other automotive and transportation industry components. Continental is the world’s fourth-largest tire manufacturer, behind Bridgestone, Michelin and Goodyear. After acquiring Siemens VDO, Continental has become one of the world’s top five auto parts suppliers.

Mainland China has purchased multiple EOS M 290 systems. With a volume of 250 x 250 x 325 mm, EOS M 290 can produce metal parts quickly, flexibly, and cost-effectively directly from computer-aided design (CAD) data. The system’s intuitive user interface, intelligent software concept with both open and standardized parameter settings, and an improved filter system are specially designed for industrial production.With Michelin, the mainland is waiting for3D printingThe importance of increasing day by day,3D printingWhat is the layout of tire mold manufacturing companies in China?

There are about 100 tire mold companies in China, and about 30 companies above the scale, mainly including Shandong Haomai, Guangdong Great Wheel, Kaiyang Mould, Shandong King Jintai, Shandong Wantong Mould, etc. Among them, there are more than 2,000 sets of production capacity. Seven companies. The market leaders are Shandong Haomai Technology and Guangdong Great Wheel. Among them, Shandong Haomai and Guangdong Great Wheel have not only realized large-scale production, but also have a trend towards internationalization.Shandong Haomai has now become the world’s tire mold R&D and production base, with an annual output of 20,000 sets of various tire molds, and has established business relationships with 62 of the world’s top 75 tire manufacturers. It is the world’s top three tire manufacturers Michelin, Bridgestone and Goodyear’s high-quality supplier has a market share of more than 25% in the international market for tire molds, and the export volume of tire molds accounts for more than 90% of domestic similar products.

Shandong Haomai has put the metal3D printingThe technology is used in the research and development of tire molds, and it has special metals such as Bili3D printingEquipment, thus once again laid an advantage in the market competition, gaining the time advantage of experience accumulation that is insurmountable for latecomers.
