2. The uses of 3D printing in Automotive
field
- Producing direct parts
Printing of automobile parts for end use in commercial vehicles.
- Simple and exploratory prototyping
Prototyping of multiple designs/ modifications throughout
development phase.
- Beyond prototyping
Defined products that can be easily
manufactured.

3. 1-Simple and exploratory prototyping
- 3D printing enables automotive companies to
make design improvements in software model.
- That helps management to see a prototype
model before giving it to the vendor of mass
production.
This improvement enables automotive companies
to optimize costs, quality & performance.

4. 2-Beyond prototyping
•Use:
Helps in creating amazingly realistic
prototypes with the look and feel of real
product.
•Example:
Lamborghini, while developing it’s new
flagship model Aventador in 2011, made
extensive use of 3D printing technology to
build a functional prototype of the car.

5. 3D printed shift gearbox
“Rapid prototyping"
known as 3D printing,
It is one of the most cost-effective &
time-saving methods.

6. Printed air-intake system
FaSTTUBe team
“We produced all of the components of the car’s
air-intake system in ABS plastic using the printer.”
The geometry of these parts is very complex, and
normally it would take a lot of manual steps and
processes to make the system.
“With the printer, we were able to do it in a
matter of hours”

8. 3-Producing direct parts
Bringing benefits in cost and
strength that improves the
affordability and driving
character of vehicles.
Car companies make use of 3D printing to manufacture some parts.

18. Reduce production costs
3D printing saves millions of
dollars in the product
development process by
eliminating the need for special
tooling, or dedicated molds, for
parts likely to change.

19. Improves quality
3D printing improves quality in automotive companies by providing
engineers more time and freedom to optimize and test parts.

20. Allows engineers to experiment
- The technology also allows
engineers to experiment with more
radical, innovative part designs
inexpensively and quickly.
- It is ideal for test parts that go
through frequent development
changes.
