3d Printing in the Automotive IndustryDriving Automotive Manufacturing Forward With Increased Agility and InnovationTraditional manufacturing processes and early additive manufacturing machines have come up short for the automotive industry. Essentium is building toward a full-factory solution that will streamline tooling and provide a quick-turn, in-house capability set to automotive manufacturers. As part of this full-stack solution, the Essentium High Speed Extrusion (HSE™) 3D Printing Platform is an on-demand manufacturing tool alternative to quickly produce jigs, fixtures, and tools right on the factory floor.Key Applications ToolingDesign large, commercial-grade tools, that can go from concept to final part in a matter of days. Jigs & FixturesReduce operational expenses such as warehousing costs for outdated jigs and fixtures. Rapid PrototypingPrint prototypes using high-performance, end-use materials ready for functional testing.HIGH SPEED EXTRUSION FOR AUTOMOTIVEUtilizing a non-slip, high-torque extrusion system and all linear servo motors, the HSE 3D Printing Platform can reach print speeds of up to 500 mm/s. In demanding environments like the automotive factory floor, Essentium systems give manufacturers the agility to design, prototype, and produce end-use parts in a matter of days.Additionally, Essentium has the best and broadest materials portfolio in the industry that includes non-marring, ESD-safe, and nylon materials that are ideally suited for mold tooling, jigs and fixtures, end-use parts, and other important applications within the automotive industry.Recommended Machines HSE 280i HT 3D PRINTERPut Essentium's independent dual extrusion system to the test and print double the parts in half the time, while maintaining quality and part accuracy.
