促进制造的趋势，用于最终使用戴姆勒AG
戴姆勒（Daimler）使用了3D打印技术已有25年以上。我们在所谓的添加剂制造业的所有常规方法中都有很多经验。
仅在Sindelfingen和Untertürkheim工厂，大约有100,000个零件已经通过增材工艺生产，并交付给了开发部门或我们的生产设施。到目前为止，重点是模型，视觉对象以及原型，工具和设备的生产。随着3D打印在原型结构中具有巨大的潜力，我们将更多地扩展该领域。在乘用车生产的背景下，3D打印技术用于创建量身定制的机械和设备，例如调整和组装辅助工具，以实现最佳组装过程。同时，与传统制造的设备相比，可以减少成本和重量，从而改善工作场所的人体工程学。
同样在备件业务中，对于特殊的客户要求或经典车辆，3D印刷零件很有趣。这尤其适用于不再有任何用于常规制造工艺或工具破旧的工具。
自2016年以来，使用备件业务中的添加剂制造业的第一个塑料系列组件，例如在我们的商用车部门中使用特殊用途的车辆（例如Unimog）。此外，30 different spare parts for Mercedes-Benz trucks批准和为塑料创建3 d printe吗r. In the bus division, a variety of special customer requests are now being operated via additive production – the growth rates are enormous. Due to a significantly higher number of units in series production of the Mercedes-Benz passenger car division, additive processes have not been able to conquer this market.

Large-scale production use of additive production methods is currently hampered by too little productivity. Because of limited installation space in the “printer”, the number of components to be manufactured per system is limited. Due to the structure in layers, the process usually takes several hours to days. In addition, the powdery resources are relatively expensive.
In the long term, through continuous processes and the increasing automation in the 3D-printing, there is a potential for large-scale production.
