Automotive customers are demanding greater vehicle personalization and unique ride experiences. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a revolutionary group of technologies that can help automakers cater to the desires of their customers by providing unique solutions for vehicle design, manufacturing, and the overall automotive business. However, for advancing AM towards applications in automotive mass production, AM’s inherent challenges must be addressed. To obtain an industry perspective, CAR organized brainstorming sessions with representatives from multiple automakers and suppliers to discuss the advancement in AM, challenges to incorporating its adoption, and the path forward. This whitepaper consolidates a summary of the discussions from the meetings and an extensive literature survey performed by the CAR team.
