Hyundai Mobis现代汽车集团的子公司在韩国生产汽车零件，开设了一个3D打印实验室，即设计型号车间，该实验室的容量可容纳3D打印定制的车辆零件。这是韩国由汽车组件供应商推出的第一家设计研究机构。
Prototyping 3D printed parts on clay models
该研讨会是现代Mobis投资280万美元的结果。该实验室占地430平方米，位于韩国东林的现代马布克技术中心。该设施配备了粉末3D打印机以及一系列尖端设计机器，包括粘土模型处理机，该机器能够创建全尺寸的粘土车辆。
The clay model processing machine takes three weeks to produce a full-size car model, accurate to 0.05mm. This is a subtractive process, where a robot arm cuts into a block of clay before color and texture are added, creating a model visually identical to the actual car to be released. The 3D powder printer uses ultra-fine particles, producing precise details whilst also allowing easy post-processing or modification.
Proactive design through 3D printing
将设计和制造过程放在单个位置已简化了设计过程。设计师和工程师通过将全尺寸的粘土型号与该设施印刷的组件3D配合使用，从而确定了公司对生产车的适用性。
Using 3D printing to reduce the time it takes to produce a sample, Hyundai Mobis are able to proactively offer component design in response to customer demands and trends.
“Adding design, which is within the area of emotion, to performance and quality will allow us to secure a competitive edge over global rivals,” said Hyundai Mobis Design Director, Kang Han-tae.
加速使用3D打印的汽车设计
宝马集团is also set to open an additive manufacturing facilityfor the design and prototyping of customized automotive parts. The €10 million ($12.3 million) facility will begin operation in early 2019.
