How major automakers use AM for production today, part 7: FCA additive manufacturing Additive Manufacturing

by Automotive

During this month’s AM Focus Automotive, we are mapping the most accurate and up to date scenario for automotive additive manufacturing in final part production. We presented an analysis of the latest progress made by each major automaker group and some of the key activities—either publicly disclosed or confirmed by reliable sources. This episode is dedicated to the Italian American group’s FCA additive manufacturing. In the previous episodes, we’ve looked at Volkswagen, General Motors, Daimler Benz, Ford, BMW and PSA. In the final episode, we will present an exclusive look at additive manufacturing at JLR.
