What automotive parts can you 3D print?

Here are some industry-proven examples

3 reasons to consider 3D printing

Secure your future in the industry

Ultimaker’s 3D printing platform is incredibly easy to use. It allows automotive engineers or operators to keep their skills relevant and valuable as the Automotive industry continues to evolve.

3D printing a digital inventory of parts on demand also means you can save costs on storage and warehousing. Securely share the files with multiple locations to enable distributed manufacturing.

3D printed automotive manufacturing aids

Soften your impact on the environment

Additive manufacturing results in less wasted material, plus lighter weight and more complex geometries than traditional subtractive methods. Tools can be designed to be modular so only parts that wear need to be replaced.

And when those replacements are needed, they can be 3D printed locally on site and on demand. This cuts down on carbon emissions and packaging for shipping and logistics.

The parts you need, when you need them

When OEMs and suppliers make engineering changes, 3D printing allows you to respond faster. You can created prototypes and placeholder parts with more iterations and a faster time to market.

In-house 3D printing also allows you to work more closely with operators. Collaborate on designs and optimize custom tools that improve assembly station ergonomics and increase their satisfaction and productivity.
