Slate Automotive’s Additive Journey: Integrating FDM into Modular Vehicle Development
20.11.2025
This session explores how Slate Automotive, a modular electric vehicle startup backed by Jeff Bezos, has integrated additive manufacturing into its operations. The presentation will outline Slate’s evaluation process, their decision to adopt FDM technology, and the rationale behind selecting the Stratasys F900. Attendees will gain insight into Slate’s early-stage implementation, including examples of how additive manufacturing is being used for vehicle accessories and design validation. The discussion will focus on lessons learned, early applications, and the considerations involved when introducing AM into a fast-moving development environment. Ideal for those interested in the practical aspects of deploying industrial 3D printing in automotive or startup settings, this presentation offers a candid view of how AM can support flexible, iterative product development at an early stage.
