New Additive Manufacturing Material Will Drive Greater Part Quality, Versatility and Cost Efficiency

Stratasys Ltd. (Nasdaq: SSYS) today announced the commercial availability of its groundbreaking new material, SAF™ Polypropylene (PP) for use on the Stratasys H350™ printer, set to launch in fourth quarter of 2024. The material will be available for viewing at the Stratasys booth during the upcoming RAPID + TCT Expo in Los Angeles, CA, June 25 – 27.

When the new Audi E-Tron GT was introduced, the Audi Sport Bôllinger Höfe location in Heilbronn, Germany, rapidly needed almost 200 new tools, jigs and fixtures for its production. Designing these tools costs a lot of time. And outsourcing the production can sometimes take many weeks to months. This is where design automation and 3D printing delivered an unparalleled workflow for Audi Sport.

With 3D electronics, bulky PCBs can be replaced, resulting in sleek and integrated designs. The automotive industry is one of the largest sectors benefiting from this technology, as electronics can be printed in a thin layer onto surfaces or integrated within components, which can be particularly useful for human-machine interfaces (HMIs).

Quickparts Italy is thrilled to announce an exclusive Open House event tailored for the automotive sector, scheduled for May 22nd and 23rd, 2024. This event is to allow engineers, designers, developers, buyers and managers from the automotive engineering sector to experience cutting-edge solutions, industry expertise, and longstanding commitment to automotive innovation.

MAN Truck & Bus, a global leader in transport solutions, is embracing 3D printing through Replique’s production platform to manufacture spare parts on-demand, locally, and without the need for physical inventory. Starting with the production of bronze manifolds for the cooling water supply of a marine engine, MAN aims to undertake further projects in the future to reduce costs and further optimize service.

For some companies, a shift toward Industry 4.0 means scaling up to mass production of the same goods or near-identical lines of products. For other firms, industrial advancements present potential for greater customization and manufacturing bespoke products.

One such company is Paravan GmbH – a German company developing and supplying independent and autonomous vehicle drive systems.

RMC Motorsport, an automotive company dedicated to the rally sector, has internalized & optimized internal processes and achieved greater design capacity by involving 3D printing technology in the manufacturing process of their rally cars.

RMC Motorsport, an automotive company dedicated to the rally sector founded by the ex-driver and trainer Roberto Méndez, is dedicated to the preparation, maintenance and support of racing cars and it is specialized in the manufacture of vehicles in the N5 category.

Stratasys, Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS), a leader in polymer 3D printing solutions, today announced that Toyota, a global leader in automotive manufacturing and innovation, has signed an agreement to be the first customer to purchase the new, cutting-edge Stratasys F3300 3D printer.

The POLYLINE project achieved to be the first successful implementation of an automated additive manufacturing production line for polymer parts at scale. At the Additive Manufacturing Campus of BMW, the project partners made real 3D printing serial production with high throughput a reality. It is therefore not surprising that after the defined three years’ project time, BMW, DyeMansion, EOS and Grenzebach – four partners of the consortium – draw a very positive balance.
