- Abstract
3D printing has become increasingly popular in the automobile industry. It contributes to rapid integrated manufacturing of complex components and lightweight components. It is widely used in producing prototypes because of the practical functionality of the prototype produced in this way, which can be modified quickly based on computer-aided design (CAD). Currently, 3D printing has been widely used in vehicle designing for producing prototypes. Some companies apply 3D printing to produce whole car for most of its components in small batch production. This article analyzes and prospects the current and future applications of 3D printing in the industry based on literature review and relevant examples. In this paper, 3D printing technology of the automobile industry is systematically summarized. The application status of various routes of 3D printing technology in automobile design and manufacture is analyzed. The advantages and limitations of various 3D printing technologies in the design and manufacture of specific automobile parts are discussed. Further, the possible ways of applying 3D printing technologies to autonomous vehicles in the future are explored. This study provides a systematic reference for the exploration of related fields.
