Some of the most important 3D printed parts in the automotive world never end up in a brochure. They live inside factories as jigs, fixtures, brackets, and custom tools that keep production moving and costs under control.

In the article, we break down how automakers are using additive manufacturing to:
β€’ Produce ergonomic, purpose built tooling that speeds up assembly
β€’ Test functional prototypes for fit, strength, and performance before cutting steel
β€’ Create lightweight, complex components for EV platforms and performance vehicles
β€’ Respond faster to supply chain issues with localized, on demand production
β€’ Move more 3D printed parts from β€œexperimental” to everyday use on the road
AvidPD supports these efforts with engineering, product design, and advanced additive manufacturing so automotive teams can shorten development cycles and adapt quickly.

Complex shapes like this lattice shell look impressive, but they only work when the design is built around how additive manufacturing actually prints.
πŸ”— Read the full blog at the link in this post: https://avidpd.com/additive-manufacturing/design-for-additive-manufacturing-5-rules-every-engineer-should-know/
In the article, we walk through five practical rules that help engineers avoid failed builds and get better parts the first time:
β€’ Set smart wall thickness ranges so parts are durable and efficient
β€’ Respect minimum feature sizes for your printer and material
β€’ Choose part orientation that supports strength, accuracy, and surface quality
β€’ Design internal channels that can be printed, cleared, and inspected
β€’ Use self supporting angles to limit support material and cleanup time
These are the same principles we use at AvidPD when we help clients turn ambitious concepts into printable, high performance components.

This is what rapid prototyping looks like in the real world. Multiple versions of the same concept, printed quickly so teams can compare shapes, refine ergonomics, and test function long before committing to tooling.
πŸ”— Read the full blog at the link in this post: β€œHow Rapid Prototyping with 3D Printing is Transforming Product Development at Every Stage.”
In the article, we walk through how 3D printed prototypes support every phase of development:
β€’ Early concept models that make ideas tangible
β€’ Industrial design and ergonomics studies with real parts
β€’ Functional prototypes that reveal fit, clearances, and mechanisms
β€’ Testing and refinement based on physical feedback
β€’ Low volume builds for pilots, user trials, and launch readiness
AvidPD ties all of this together with integrated design, engineering, and low-volume manufacturing so projects move faster and avoid costly surprises.

With 3D Printing, the possibilities are endless. How incredible is it that we can work in a world that can create anything?

Some insight: This advanced 3D printing technology selectively applies fusing and detailing agents to transfer and control thermal energy from infrared heat lamps. The build process is repeated for each layer of powder until the parts are printed. Powder from each previous layer acts as the support, so there is no need for support structures to produce complex parts with lattice structures, overhangs and undercuts.
