3D Printing and automotive Industry
3D Printing is now compatible and handy to automotive industry. There are different types of printers and 3D technology to fit varying needs, each with different technological approaches on how to deliver the best results. Yet, regardless of the type of printer, the technology as a whole has always been limited by two main factors: size and speed. Most 3D printers are only capable of producing smaller parts, since full-size parts are simply too big – and even if they were able to fit the size, the slow rate of printing such large pieces would render nearly any project too expensive. This is problematic, both in terms of additional time required as well as the structural integrity required in prototypes for industries such as automotive. Even if a printer was able to print a larger-than-usual piece, they work incredibly slowly, often requiring several days for a single part to be created. These limitations caused both serious delays and increased costs in the deve...
