[Soon, if not already, coming to Automotive Parts Making & Assembly.]
Situation:
Airbus will utilize Sciaky's industrial-scale metal 3D printing system to produce large structural parts made of titanium.
Process combines computer-aided design (CAD), additive manufacturing processing principles, and an electron beam heat source
Significant to Automotive:
EBAM systems can produce parts ranging from 8 inches (203 mm) to 19 feet (5.79 meters) in length
Means that same process to apply to auto assembly parts production in future.
Brings quality & control together with Interlayer Real-time Imaging and Sensing System.
If you are a visionary: Click and see if you can understand the process & how it will change the parts business in automotive.
