On March 11th, XEV, the world's first mass-produced 3D-printed electric vehicle manufacturer, and Polymaker, a 3D printing material company, exhibited 3D printed mass production of new energy vehicles LSEV. XEV LSEV electric vehicle body based on 3D in Shanghai 3D Printing Culture Museum. Printing technology, manufactured using Polymaker3D printing materials, pioneered the development of additive manufacturing technology to produce new energy electric vehicles.
In the EU’s largest ever scientific research project, the “Horizon 2020” smart electric vehicle project, XEV electric vehicles beat traditional auto giants such as Audi, Renault, and Fiat to stand out. XEV electric vehicles are improving mobility, reducing congestion, and improving Outstanding security performance, and the use of 3D printing technology, with pure electricity as kinetic energy, is entirely a resource-saving mode of transport. 3D printing new energy electric vehicle company XEV is an 'Internet + industrial 4.0 + smart electric car' Eco-Smart Electric Vehicle Design and Manufacturing Corporation. This is a car manufacturing company with Internet thinking. It builds a complete set of customized intelligent production, new user experience and user value around 3D printing technology, and strives to build a complete automotive ecosystem. Providing a complete 3D printing solution for the manufacturing industry. The XEV electric vehicle received large quantities of purchase orders before it was mass-produced, and the number was still as high as 7,000.
This move also led to the cooperation of the Italian national postal group and the ARVAL car rental company of BNP Paribas, and also the cooperation of the world's auto parts production giant Nemak Co., Ltd. In terms of body materials, Polymaker and XEV reached a strategic partnership. And developed a variety of advanced 3D printing materials for customization, including PLA, nylon, TPU and a full set of material solutions. In the cooperation project between Polymaker and XEV, including the custom development of a variety of 3D printing engineering plastics; hundreds of times Process formulation experiments and material testing; co-operation to solve surface treatment problems; and joint development of next-generation high-speed 3D printing solutions to further increase efficiency and reduce costs. Compared to traditional car manufacturing methods, 3D printed cars have achieved 'customized customization'. Consumers choose and allow them to participate in the design process, creating a new design flow. Allow owners to design exterior details from small color textures to styling effects, using XEV's interchangeable modular components to customize fully-customized cars. Since then, the car is no longer a cold tool but a good partner for users. Consumers bring the best experience. 3D printing technology achieves the customization of cars that cannot be achieved by conventional manufacturing, greatly reducing production costs, and zero-cost automotive upgrades and other core values. In addition, XEV electric vehicles greatly reduce material waste and improve resources. Utilization rate: The traditional automobile manufacturing technology is mainly stamping and welding, with about 2000 body parts and an iterative cycle of 24-42 months. The 3D printed XEV electric vehicle has about 40-60 body parts, and the iteration period is March. -December.
Due to the use of 3D printing technology, XEV electric vehicles do not require the molds required by traditional car manufacturing. The vehicle's shape and function can be customized according to the user's needs, and no additional costs will be incurred. This can be truly customized on demand. The world's first body exterior and exterior uses 3D printing technology to produce mass-produced cars. The XEVLSEV pure electric vehicle has a small body, an avant-garde movement, and a high degree of recognition on the side C-shaped design. It is on display in the 3D Printing Cultural Museum. , XEV and Polymaker also provided test drive activities for the audience. The response was good and they were well received by test riders. XEV+Polymaker teamed up to build a mass-produced 3D-printed pure electric vehicle, which showed the increase in manufacturing, and smart manufacturing has become an important manufacturing method. The people's lifestyle is changed in a subtle way. 3D printing technology can realize customized production, give consumers the best experience, and truly meet diverse consumer demands. At the macro level, 3D printing technology has lower manufacturing costs and resources. High utilization rate is a more efficient manufacturing method. Its popularity is coming.
