5. INTRODUCTION
In today’s contemporary society, 3D software programs can be used as an effective intervention for
optimizing the manufacturing process of vehicles in the automobiles industry. The 3D technology started
in 1983 when Chuck Hull invented the first 3D printing equipment and method, which he referred to as the
Stereolithography (Snyder et al., 2014). The technique involved creating solid forms by printing successive
layers of ultraviolet-curable materials (Chen et al., 2019). However, it was not until about a decade later
when the technology started being incorporated in creating certain parts of the manufactured vehicles.
Today, 3D technology has been adopted by various automobile manufacturing companies in certain parts
of the world [6]. The technology is still gradually growing in popularity today, and it is possible that all
cars manufacturers in the future will, to a great extent, rely on 3D printing in enhancing their automobile
manufacturing process. The phrase “3D printing” is employed to describe the series of procedures in
which objects are joined or solidified by use of a computer control program to form a three-dimensional
object (Al-Maliki & Al-Maliki, 2015). Today, 3D technology is also characterized as Additive Manufacturing
(AM) technology (Tofail et al. 2018). In 3D printing, people can design objects by use of computer
software, to create intricate car parts that can be used for various manufacturing purposes [1]. The
automotive industry is among the sectors that have largely benefited from the invention of 3D technology.
It is possible to create detailed and high precise materials that refine the design and exquisiteness of
certain automobile parts.
6. Uses Of 3D Printing In Automotive Indusry
-Simple and Explaratory prototyping
prototyping of multiple designs/ modifications
throughnt
development phase
-Beyond prototyping
defined productes that can be easily
Manufactured
-Producing direct parts
printing of automobile parts for end use in commercial
vehcles
7. 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 maa
Production.
-This improvement enables automotive companies
To optimize costa, quality & performance
8. 2.Beyond Prototyping
*Use:
Helps in creating amazingly realistic
prototypes with the look and feel of real
product
*Example:
Lamborghini, while developing its new
flagship model Aventador in 2011 made
extensive use of 3D printing technology to
build a functional protype of the car
9. 3D Printed shift Gearbox
“Rapid prototyping”
known as 3D printing
It is one of the most cost-effective &
Time-saving methods
10. Printed air-intake system
FaSTTUBes team
“We produced all of the components of the car’s
air-intake system in ABS plstic 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”
11. 3.Producing direct parts
Car companies make use of 3D printing to
manufacture some parts.
Bringing benefits in cost and
Strength that improves the
Affordability and driving
Character of vehicles.
18. Save Time
Most of thr automotive companies
Used 3D printing to save time required
In prototyping the parts for the vehicle
19. Reduce production costs
3D printing saves millions of
Dollars in the product
Devlopement process by
Eliminating the need for special
tooling, or dedicated molds, for
parts likely to change
20. Improves Quality
3D printing improves quality in automotive companies by providing
Enginners more time and freedom to optimize and test parts
21. Allows Engineers to Experiment
-The technology also allows
Engineers to experiment with
more radial, innovative part designs
inexpencively and quicky.
-it is ideal for test parts that go
through frequent devlopement
changes.
23. Disadvantages of using 3D printer in Automotive Indusry
1.Limited Materials. While 3D Printing can create items in a selection of plastics and
metals the available selection of raw materials is not exhaustive. ...
2.Restricted Build Size. ...
3.Post Processing. ...
3.Large Volumes. ..
4.Part Structure. ...
5.Design Inaccuracies. ...
6.Copyright Issues.
24. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, 3D software can be used as an effective intervention for
optimizing the manufacturing process of vehicles in the automobiles
industry. Additionally, 3D printing originated as a technique that
involved creating solid forms by printing successive layers of
ultravioletcurable materials. However, today, 3D printing has largely
been adopted in the automotive industry as a cost and timesaving
method of developing cars. Through the use of 3D technology, certain
parts of vehicles such as the lamps, mirror holders, and dashboard
components, among others, can be created with ease. Furthermore,
the use of 3D printing technology has helped the automobile
manufacturers to optimize their supply chain and also facilitate
automobile companies in securing mass manufacturing of vehicles for
the available global market. Moreover, through the use of 3D printing
technology, it has been possible for the automobile manufacturers to
execute large scale production of spare parts for vehicles
