Application of 3D Printing Technology in Automotive Industry
With the continuous development of social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, automobile has become one of the indispensable means of transportation in people's daily life. The traditional automobile production mode due to the fixed production line, large production batch, long cycle and other characteristics, there is a failure to meet the individualized demand, waste of resources and other issues. With the increasing diversification and personalization of consumer demand, automobile customized production has become an inevitable trend in the development of the automobile industry. In this context, 3D printing technology, as a new type of manufacturing technology, has gradually attracted the attention of the automotive manufacturing industry with its advantages of speed, flexibility and personalization.
● Automotive Parts
3D printing technology has a wide range of applications in the manufacture of automotive parts. Automotive engine parts, seat accessories, lamp shells, etc. can be customized production through 3D printing technology. Compared with the traditional injection molding or casting process, 3D printing technology can significantly shorten the design and production cycle of parts, reduce production costs, and can realize the manufacture of complex structures, improve the performance and quality of parts.
