Why Choose Additive Prototyping?
- Speed to Market
Turn CAD models into real parts in hours—not weeks. Test early, iterate fast, and launch ahead of competitors.
- Cost Efficiency
Eliminate tooling costs and reduce prototyping expenses by up to 90%. Ford cut costs from $500,000 to $3,000 for a single part using 3D printing.
- Design Freedom
Prototype complex geometries—like internal channels and lattice structures—that are impossible with traditional methods.
- Quality and Performance
Prototype with materials that mimic production properties—robust enough for crash tests and road trials..
Proven Results from Industry Leaders
- Ford: Over 500,000 3D-printed parts produced, saving millions in development costs and months in lead time.
- BMW: Integrated additive manufacturing across vehicle programs, producing hundreds of thousands of components annually.
- General Motors: Reduced tooling costs and accelerated design validation with standardized 3D printing workflows.
From Concept to Market—Smarter and Faster
Additive prototyping empowers automotive teams to innovate freely, iterate rapidly, and launch confidently. Whether you're designing a new EV platform or refining aerodynamic components, 3D printing helps you deliver better vehicles—faster and more affordably.
