How major automakers use AM for production today, part 8: Jaguar Land Rover additive manufacturing Additive Manufacturing

by Automotive

During this month’s AM Focus Automotive, we mapped 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. In the previous seven episodes of this series, we looked at Volkswagen, General Motors, Daimler Benz, Ford, BMW, PSA, and FCA. In this final episode, we will present a look at Jaguar Land Rover additive manufacturing, which will lead to our exclusive interview with Jaguar Land Rover’s Christopher Noble, Additive Manufacturing Strategic Engineer, that you will find in 3dpbm’s upcoming downloadable eBook on Automotive AM.
