China3D printingIn October 2018, the XE SV Project 8 became the first production car produced by Jaguar Land Rover, which included several3D printingparts, and where the company is locatedUKMore than a dozen components are created in the Additive Manufacturing Center (AMC) at Gaydon’s Advanced Product Creation Center.Jaguar Land Rover has been using additive manufacturing for over two decades, and the new centre is the largest in the country3D printingone of the factories.Their engineers have also gone beyond by adopting the technology on the next generation of protective workwear3D printingFor more traditional uses in automobiles, for example, they recently proposed a lightweight3D printingGloves can help better protect employees from injury.

3D printingIt has been shown to bring many benefits to the automotive industry.Gaydon’sJaguar Land Roverengineerto China3D printingNet revealed, “Initially, the company printed non-functional prototypes, such as design mockups, with the related development of the technology accelerating the use of AM, which has been used until now.3D printingParts in production vehicles.
Stringent automotive quality standards meet current accuracy and repeatability. AMC currently has 16 industrial3D printingThese printers have a variety of technologies, namely: selective laser sintering, multi-jet fusion, stereolithography, continuous liquid interface production and multi-jet. AMC servesJaguarandLand Rover
All business areas of the brand. ”
The Jaguar XE SV Project 8, powered by a 600PS 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine, was drive-tested by development driver Vincent Radermecker at the creepy racing circuit in the German town of Nürburg.The design of this special vehicle handling unit enables most3D printingNone of the parts are visible, and the owner can see only a few, such as the base for the number plate at the front and a couple of fins that improve aerodynamics. The biggest addition to the team is the interior, where those opting for the “Track Edition” version will find the rear seats stripped and a roll cage and racing harness added. Where the harness meets the seat enables additive manufacturing, while bezels are custom-made on the racing bucket seats.
The part has some overhangs and details that engineers felt were too complex to make using traditional methods. So the team used HP’s Multi Jet Fusion 3D printingtechnology, created the same seat bezels that engineers designed and rigorously tested it as any other component.
The team was quick to complete high-quality parts to fit the £150,000 super sedan. 3D printingThe quality of the components was so well received that the team was commissioned to create more products for XE SV Project 8, including blanks for covering traditional seat belts as well as custom mounting brackets for the car’s stopping distance, sensors, and more.
“The limited edition Jaguar XE SV Project 8 is the ideal tool for additive manufacturing. Leveraging AM eliminates tooling costs for low-volume vehicles, while also allowing the many unique parts on the vehicle to deliver optimal performance. Elimination of tooling allows for larger geometry degrees of freedom and avoids tooling costs and inventory. In product development, the technology enables multiple, faster design iterations. In the future, as AM sees increased use of spare and aftermarket parts, more localized production There may be a general reduction in logistics.

Currently, AMC is the only polymer plant, butJaguarLand RoverThere are strong ties to many metal additive suppliers and researchers and active metal additive projects for future automotive adoption.According to China3D printingThe network understands that 15 engineers work at AMC in a variety of roles, including plans to produce more than 80,000 a year3D printingComponents. These include prototype parts, parts used in our manufacturing base and parts used in production vehicles.The team is responsible for delivering the business’s additive manufacturing strategy, which includes characterizing new technologies, as well as conducting3D printingeducate. Every day brings a new set of challenges and the opportunity to participate in several exciting and innovative projects.
