Large 3D-printed equipment \u2013 a game changer in the automotive industry?<\/p>\n
Until now, equipment was mostly made of steel or aluminum \u2013 expensive, heavy, and often assembled from multiple parts. 3D printers were usually too small.<\/p>\n
But it doesn’t have to be this way.<\/p>\n
Walter Automobiltechnik GmbH saves considerable costs by printing assembly fixtures and quality assurance tools up to one cubic meter in size.<\/p>\n
The result?<\/p>\n
Individual testing and assembly aids are now an integral part of quality assurance. Customized fixtures ensure greater efficiency and automated checks.<\/p>\n
But that’s just the beginning!<\/p>\n
3D printing opens up completely new possibilities. Whether tool holders, grippers, or practical workplace aids \u2013 engineer Andr\u00e9 Lenz uses the printer for clever solutions throughout the entire company.<\/p>\n
Andr\u00e9 Lenz explains: Our BigRep \u2013 Large-Format 3D Printers ONE enables us to produce large components \u2013 without great expense. A real game changer!<\/p>\n
For WAT, 3D printing is not a trend \u2013 but a lived reality and the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
