Large volumes and significant cost pressure are what characterize the automotive industry. In many cases, Additive Manufacturing is too expensive and too ineffective in this scenario. However, Additive Manufacturing really plays to its strengths where individual parts, small series, complex geometries, and individual adaptations are concerned. Typical fields of application are creating prototypes in product development, customization as a unique selling point, or on-demand production of spare parts.

Find out why the automotive industry relies on Additive Manufacturing and how you can also use AM successfully in our exclusive whitepaper "Additive Manufacturing for the automotive industry: basic principles, recommendations, application examples and forecasts".

We will provide you with in-depth insights in the five chapters

  • Additive Manufacturing overview
  • AM statements
  • 10 steps to success
  • Applications, trends, and perspectives in the automotive industry
  • Additive success stories of leading experts from Audi, Daimler Truck and Brose

The whitepaper Additive Manufacturing for the automotive industry was created in collaboration with the Fraunhofer IAPT and is available for free download here.
