Rapid Prototyping and Parts for Automotive Manufacturing

Experienced Traditional & Additive Manufacturing for All Automotive Areas

Automotive manufacturing has long included cutting-edge technologies, and the automotive industry pioneered many of the traditional manufacturing techniques and technologies used today.With innovative 3D printing and other additive manufacturing options, automotive is quickly moving from general mass production to mass customisation. Easy access to durable, complex, accurate, and functional prototypes and rapid production has allowed the automotive industry to transform into a more cutting-edge, personalised, innovative business.

3D printing technologies efficiently manufacture a wide variety of parts, prototypes, customisations, and equipment for OEMs, auto enthusiasts, and even everyday drivers.

3D Printing for Automotive Manufacturing and Accessories

Quickparts helps automotive manufacturers produce prototypes, tools, and custom parts cost-effectively to speed up production and assist in streamlining customisation. Molds, tools, grips, jigs, and fixtures are just a few examples of 3D printing’s capabilities in the automotive industry.

Our experience with a wide range of 3D printing and traditional manufacturing technologies allows us to deliver high-quality prototypes and parts. And with today’s material tracking software, it is easier than ever to manage consumable serial numbers, batches, and order quantities, even for the strictest inventory control systems. We also offer a wide range of manufacturing processes, materials, and finishing options to suit your prototyping or part needs.

At Quickparts, we assist automotive innovators and engineers with rapid prototypes and parts that function to their specifications, even for the most complex or unique designs. If you need a reliable, cost-effective partner, contact us today.

3D printing and traditional manufacturing offer a wide range of uses for the automotive industry. These capabilities include:

Stereolithography (SLA)

SLA allows automotive engineers the flexibility to test out designs before mass production. This process’ highly accurate modelling, smooth finish, and variety of material choices make SLA ideal for automotive manufacturing.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

3D printing with SLS creates durable, functional prototypes and parts and includes a broad range of material options. High-end automotive manufacturers currently customise certain options, such as seating and parts, using SLS printing technology, and we anticipate more applications in the future.

Direct Metal Printing (DMP)

DMP builds high-quality, complete metal parts, allowing accurate printing for challenging geometries. It also optimises them for lighter weights that may not be available through traditional subtractive or casting technologies. Quickparts’ in-house experts hold significant experience with DMP technologies for the automotive industry, including motorsports.

CNC Machining

Manufacturers can use CNC machining to create key automotive components, including even the most demanding parts or applications. With expanding options for CNC prototyping, automotive manufacturers can design and create complex components quickly and cost-effectively.

Sheet Metal Manufacturing

Aluminium and mild steel represent the most used sheet metals for automotive projects, and the automotive industry prefers aluminium for dashboards, bulkheads, and other applications. Quickparts has the expertise with metalworking and manufacturing that the automotive industry needs to help find new uses and improve current applications.

Injection Moulding

Automotive industry customers have different expectations of their automobiles than car buyers did in the past, especially for comfort and fuel efficiency. Parts manufactured through automotive plastic injection moulding may cost-effectively meet these expectations.
