| In the early days of 3D printing technology, many people thought that this was just another scientific gimmick. However, with the deepening and maturity of printing technology, more and more traditional enterprises and technology giants have seen a wide range of application prospects. The company announced the use of 3D printing technology, but they are not used to produce spare parts for automobiles. Instead, they use the technology to produce molds and fixtures for factories. Currently, large-scale trials have been conducted at the Lansing Delta factory.  Picture from Michael Wayland Citing the report of foreign media Automotive News, the 3D printer used by the GM Lansing Delta plant costs about 35,000 U.S. dollars, but it has helped the company to save more than 300,000 U.S. dollars in mold costs. In addition, the company also used special fixtures. To align the VIN license plate on the vehicle, if purchased from a third-party solution provider at a cost of $3,000 each, printing an internal cost is only $3.  Picture from Nick Miotke/Roadshow 3D printing is very suitable for highly customized and small batch products, and can be easily customized by the staff. This can greatly improve work efficiency. |
