Our favorite 3D automotive restoration projects Additive Manufacturing

by Business

With its propensity for custom, one-off designs, it is no wonder that 3D technologies like scanning and 3D printing have been eagerly adopted by automotive restoration professionals. The technologies have literally given them the tools to bring vintage and rare cars back to their former glory, not just in look, but often also in terms of performance. Whether used to reproduce an obsolete component for a vintage model or to replicate the entire car body, 3D printing is now an intrinsic part of automotive restoration projects. Here are a few of our favorite examples from over the years that demonstrate the many ways 3D printing and 3D technologies can be used to rev up old cars.

AM Craft, a Latvia-based aerospace additive manufacturing service provider, has purchased four large-scale F900 3D printers from Stratasys, marking one of the 3D printing company’s largest single orders to date. AM Craft will utilize the production-grade 3D printers to produce a variety of aircraft interior components, including parts for aircraft seating, paneling and ducting. The AM technology will enable AM Craft to offer its customers a higher degree of customization for aircraft interior applications.

Maybe it’s because of the new contract that the DoD just awarded to SpaceX help get its Space Force satellites into orbit (and that will bring Elon Musk’s company $2 billion dollars). Maybe it’s just because SpaceX was among the first to understand the benefits of AM for end-use space parts. Either way, the company is now expanding AM activities and looking for new Additive Manufacturing Engineers, and for Process and Applications Development.
