Audi plans to print the LED 3D light source for the finished car
The company's slogan is "science and technology leading innovation (vorsprung durch Technik)" a mark of be linked together top world famous car manufacturer Audi company own advanced technology. Apparently they are in the application of 3D printing UV curing light source technology has not dropped, there is news that the company is experimenting with metal 3D printer LED light source technology to manufacture complex metal parts, and plans to eventually be installed in the finished car.
Despite the fact that 3D printing UV curing light source technology in the automotive manufacturing industry is not news - for example, we have reported that Ford has been using the technology for some vehicle production prototype - but the metal 3D printer LED light source technology has recently been a remarkable progress means that in the near future, a number of well-known automobile companies are likely to use 3D printing UV curing technology directly manufacturing parts.
In particular, the company has been in the experimental metal 3D printer LED light source is the ideal choice for those with complex geometry parts, such as the use of traditional manufacturing tools, such as casting, often time-consuming and expensive. And using the 3D printing UV curing light source component is very fine steel or aluminum metal powder, its particle size to half of a human hair, so the density to than the casting parts.
Audi's current use of large size metal 3D printer LED light source can be manufactured to 240 mm long, 200 mm wide object. And the German automaker has said they intend to introduce a larger 3D printing UV curing light source device in the future.
"We will work with our research partners to advance the new manufacturing process." Audi company responsible for tool manufacture of Hubert Watl. "One of our goals is the metal parts for automobile production." Just last week, for testing purposes, the Audi uses metal 3D printer LED light source technology to completely replicate a 1/2 ratio of the 1936 car alliance (Audi's predecessor) of the C type car, this reduced half of the car can accommodate a driver. At that time, the company has said that they will work with other members of the parent company, the Volkswagen Group, to find the metal 3D printer LED light source and sand for the production of cars.
It is understood that metal 3D printer LED light source is currently one of the most popular areas of development, is recognized as the most promising 3D printing UV printing technology, especially in aerospace and automotive sectors, these industries often need to use high performance materials to produce a specific, with complex geometry parts.
In fact, STRATASYS direct manufacturing recently of a survey showed that 84% of respondents said that all they want in the increase in material manufacturing development in the field of materials, solid lightweight metal ranked the highest. Recently, Israeli companies Xjet announced they are developing liquid metal 3D inkjet printing UV curing light source technology can make custom metal parts manufactured on a large scale than ever cheaper and more efficient.We are focus on the special LED and application module on the medical lighting and UV market.please contact us:kevin@sunerled.com or http://www.sunerled.com/English/
