In automobile manufacturing, small batches of customized parts or prototype parts in the design and development stage are often faced with the challenges of high mold opening production costs and long mold opening cycles.3D printingThe emergence of OEM has opened up an efficient, fast and flexible innovative solution for OEMs, parts manufacturers and after-sales service suppliers, so that the automotive industry is no longer limited by the way of mold production.
along with3D printingThe maturity of equipment, materials and additive manufacturing processes,3D printingThe application of technology in automobile manufacturing, from the development of part design prototypes, jig production, and further to the small batch production of final parts.
In this issue, we will share the insights of two Japanese auto manufacturing companies.3D printingApplications.they pass through china3D printingEnterprise is far smarter – Intamsys’ smart multi-material industrial grade3D printingMachine and engineering-grade plastics, custom automotive parts production, fixtures for production lines and vulnerable parts in factory equipment.
Open material system, flexible application
Production of customized parts for special vehicles
SANKI Co., Ltd. is a company located in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, which manufactures special vehicle cabs and compartment-related parts.
Since the air-conditioning vents and other parts used in special vehicles need to be custom-designed and manufactured, there is no way to purchase general-purpose parts from the market, so I initially wanted to use the method of mold injection, but special vehicles cannot meet mass production. It costs tens of millions of yen to open the mold. Therefore, considering the cost, the unit price will be too high. Using Yuanzhu Smart FUNMAT PRO 410 3D printingThe equipment only needs half the price, that is, it can meet the parts used in special vehicles more efficiently, quickly and flexibly.
