Client and business goals:

Automotive manufacturers leverage 3D printing technologies to produce customized parts and low-volume parts without escalation production cost and lead time. A leading automotive manufacturer in India was looking for 3D printing services to produce lightweight parts with complex geometries and advanced internal features. But the company was skeptical about getting a 3D-printed part that can be used as the perfect tooling aid.

Description:

The primary business goal of the client was to get 3D printed-parts using FST-rated materials that fit into the automotive part by meeting the specifications and requirements accurately. But the automotive manufacturer wanted the 3D printed part to be delivered early without sacrificing quality. Hence, the client was looking for a 3D printing service provider who delivers the customized 3D-printed part in a short amount of time.

Project Highlights:

A leading automotive manufacturer was looking for 3D printing services to reduce both lead time and production cost.
The primary requirement of the client was to obtain a lightweight automotive part with complex geometries and internal features.
The in-house team at Aurum3D understood the business requirements and specification clearly by discussing various aspects of the project with the client’s team.
They used Catia V5 and Solid Works to create a 3D model of the automotive part based on base model, input report, and information shared by the client.
They used our own industrial 3D printer to produce the automotive component based on the model approved by the client.
Our team impressed the client by designing and 3D printing the automotive part in less than 200 hours while keeping the complex geometries and internal features unaltered.
The quality and speed of the printing services persuades the automotive manufacturer to rely on Aurum3D to produce customized and low-volume components.

The Challenge:

The internal team at Aurum3D has already designed and 3D-printed customized parts for several automotive companies. They accepted the project as a challenge to impress the automotive manufacturers to deliver a 3D-printed part in a short amount of time. Our 3D engineers discussed the project elaborately with the client’s team to understand the specifications and requirements clearly.

3D Model Designing

Also, they analyzed the base model and input report thoroughly to understand the complex geometries and features. After reviewing the input and understanding the precise business requirements, our 3D engineers created a 3D model using sophisticated tools like Catia V5 and Solid Works. The 3D model was designed with reduced weight, while keeping the automotive part’s complex geometries and internal features intact.

Design Review

Once the 3D model was ready, the client’s team reviewed the 3D design according to their precise requirements. Our team 3D printed the model using our own industrial-standard 3D printer and FST-rated material. We further post-process the 3D-printed part to deliver ready-to-use automotive parts. Our 3D engineers impressed the client by designing and printing the complex part in less than 200 hours.

Successful Delivery

The client appreciated the efficiency of Aurum 3D printing services to deliver complex parts and models in a short amount of time. However, our team has already developed customized and complex parts from many automotive companies. The project showcased their skill to deliver parts with complex geometries and internal features in a short amount of time.
