While 3D printing is often discussed as an important new technology for the auto industry, it hasn’t made much of an impact so far. Now, Volkswagen and HP claim to have made a major breakthrough in ...

Celestiq engineers aren’t just drawing up three-dimensional CAD files and pressing Ctrl+P, though. Before graduating to ...

3D printing has entered the mainstream with carmakers, allowing them to speed up development and production for certain parts. For instance, when Chevrolet modified the design of the 2022 Tahoe, it ...

Ford is partnering with Stratasys Ltd. to 3D-print prototype car parts and potentially specialty parts for low-volume cars in the near future. The Stratasys Infinite Build 3D printer, as its name ...

General Motors announced on Monday the opening of a new ground-up facility dedicated to additive manufacturing. That means GM’s engineers will have access to an entire branch whose main purpose is ...

Ford is not the only automaker to make use of 3D printing technology, but it is the only one to do so in this particular way: ...

Even the most dedicated gearhead can’t restore a classic car without the right parts. The older and/or rarer the car, the harder it is to find parts for. But Porsche is using new technology to keep ...

Building hot rods remained basically the same for decades, with tried-and-true “old school” methods being used to create increasingly complex builds. Computers really changed the game, allowing things ...

Porsche has a huge supply of spare parts to keep its classic cars on the road, but it doesn't have everything. Supplies of certain components run out, and often, it's way too expensive to build a ...

When you want to fabricate something you either start with something and take away what you don’t want — subtractive manufacturing — or you start with nothing and add material, which is additive ...

VW has been working with HP and Siemens to scale up 3D metal printing processes to make car parts. Metallic 3D-printed parts weigh half as much as those produced from sheet steel, allowing the ...

From aerospace and medical purposes to fashion and automotive innovations, there are nearly limitless possibilities of 3D printing for prototyping, manufacturing and customization. A 3D printer ...
