3D PRINTED PARTS

Auto Additive announced the formation of its advisory council during day one of the CIECA CONNEX conference, featuring leaders from across the industry focused on advancing 3D printing in collision repair. This global group will develop a roadmap for integrating 3D printing technology into repair processes, aiming to provide high-quality, OEM-compatible parts, tools and jigs to enhance efficiency and precision. With its focus on sustainability, Auto Additive has also joined the Additive Manufacturing Green Trade Association as it works through several environmental case studies related to using 3D printing in collision repair.

Promoting standardization of 3D-printed auto parts will be a key focus of the council. Auto Additive is also championing location-based printing for low-volume parts, which is said to reduce waste and costs for OEMs or aftermarket providers.
