Tesla has not significantly implemented AM processes in its production workflows yet and it can\u2019t be due to high production demands. While traditional car manufacturers have already implemented AM for tools or final and spare p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>s production at some levels, Tesla has not yet significantly done so, other than for some occasional p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a> repair.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1686336680847691594.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While they don\u2019t advertise it, both Tesla and Arrival are likely to use AM for prototypes and such p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a> repair operations or, more probably, for end of arm robotic tooling (EOAT), given their heavy use of versatile robotic platforms. At the same time, if and when economies of scale will justify it, transforming a robotic arm from an assembly tool or subtractive system to an additive one, is becoming an increasingly streamlined transition. Even if that additive system is then used to make tools for traditional manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>Arrival has been developing its own proprietary hardware, software and robotics since 2015 and is using these technologies to enable electric <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/automotive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vehicle<\/a> production through these unique Microfactories, which are small-footprint, low CapEx and can be deployed quickly to serve local communities.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eaeaea7a; padding: 15px 30px; overflow-wrap: break-word; display: flex; align-items: center; border-radius: 4px; box-shadow: -1px 4px 20px 0px #dedede; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1; padding-right: 30px;\">\n<h4 style=\"margin-bottom: 14px;\">Manufacturing on Demand<\/h4>\n<div style=\"display: block;\">Fast turnaround, low cost, comprehensive optimized strategy\u2026 FacFox is your one-stop partner for product manufacturing!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a style=\"background-color: #0baee8; color: white; padding: 10px 20px; border-radius: 4px;\" href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"fa-fw auxicon auxicon-cloud-upload\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Get Quote<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>In the company\u2019s vision, every Arrival <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/automotive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vehicle<\/a> is going to be produced in these small-footprint, low-cost Microfactories. Microfactories use cell-based assembly instead of the traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/automotive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">automotive<\/a> production line.

By localizing the supply chain, Microfactories help to reduce the <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/environment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">environment<\/a>al impact of manufacturing.

The Arrival Car will join Arrival\u2019s previously announced commercial products, the Bus and Van, to provide cities with a multi-modal zero-emission transportation ecosystem that they require in order to meet their sustainability goals over the coming years. This integrated transportation ecosystem will create cleaner, more equitable mobility solutions for people living in cities that Arrival believes will have a radical impact on their health and opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Electric <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/automotive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vehicle<\/a>s benefit from predictable routes and overnight depot charging, fitting seamlessly within commercial fleets.
